Out of the Mouths, Chapter LXVII

Rachel has shown an interest in the jump rope lately. I convinced her that the spare bedroom/computer room might not be the best venue and that going outside might be a better option.

She started to don her sparkling red "Dorothy in The Wizard Of Oz shoes, but I suggested her tennis shoes might be more suitable. We headed outside.

She tried to jump rope, but is not quite adept yet to lift both feet off the ground so the rope can go under them. Easily frustrated, she wanted to give up quickly. I urged her to keep at it.

She tried once or twice more, unuccessfully. I tried to encourage her.

"No. I can't do it right and that is an issue!" she replied.

"That is an issue?" I thought as I chuckled inwardly.

She must have heard that phrase somewhere! Later, I found out it where she heard it.....from mom!
