Whatever You Can do So Can I

Whatever You Can do So Can I

 

As Ruth and I prepared notes for the French Muse next week, Sacha and Ruth's five year old son Louis had a push up contest.

First they did as many as they could.

And they did quite a few.

I cannot and have never been able to do one.

Sacha thought he could win, and yet he knows that Louis is little and should be given a chance to shine.

But soon after that thought he saw that Louis is a push up machine.

Sacha started laughing that nervous laugh. Louis kept pushing.

Sacha challenged with one hand.

But guess what…

Louis did not falter.

Can you do push ups? With one hand?

    hoo boy. We do them in an exercise class I take. My wrists can’t take it, so I do them standing against the barre. I can do them that way….does that count? No?….I didn’t think so.

    Lord no I cannot do a single one without cheating and doing them with my knees down! Good luck on the next French Muse – hoping to join one day!

    This is too funny. And I wish I were doing the coming French Muse with you and Ruth.

    Well, reduce the muscles in their upper bodies and make them wear 20-pound sand bags on their hips and we might stand a chance. I’m with you…just can’t do it.
