The longer you're a dad, the more you learn that as stupid as your last kid-related injury may be there's an even more idiotic one coming up. For a while there, I thought that throwing my back out while attempting to recapture my youth on a skateboard was about as pathetic as it could get, but today, not even half an hour ago, I managed to strain all the fingers on my right hand by simply pushing my daughter on the swing at the park.
Not because I'm overweight (I am, a bit), not because I'm out of shape (my cardio's gotten pretty good with all the uphill stroller pushing, actually), but because I tried one-handed pushing with my fingertips so I could talk with the other parents at the same time. I strained my right hand's fingers.
Getting old, it is not teh k00l.

Steve,
That's great...see what parenthood does to one's health. I seem to be straining my neck muscles more often these days...from picking up one kid and trying to grab the other one at the same time...great post...
