Kohl: Mom I did the run this year! And I think the medicine (inhailer)is really helping me.
Me: I know, Aunt Odie told me you ran the whole thing, all two miles.
Kohl: Did she tell you I threw up afterwards?
Me: Yes she told me that also.
Kohl: Yea it was gross, but mom remember how last year I came in 116th place.
Me: Yes Kohl I remember...and yes throwup is gross.
Kohl: Well guess what I got this year.
Me: Trying to be positive and optomistic, while also realistic and not wanting to guess 1st if he got 2nd or 3rd which could possibly make him sad (I overthink the majority of things).....I don't know son, 5th?
Kohl: No, I got 73rd!!! And my son, bless his little heart, was just as excited about 73rd as he would have been with 1st.
