Born to Run - Overheard on the Anacortes/Friday Harbor Ferry

Please, no running!

Why?

You might hurt yourself.

No I won't. Is it because you can't run?

I used to run when I was your age.

Did you hurt yourself?

Yes, I did.

I won't hurt myself.

Don't run or I will have to spank your bottom.

Is that how you got hurt, you ran and your daddy spanked you?

No. I fell down.

If I promise not to fall down, can I run?

You can't promise that.

Yes I can, I promise.

Why do you want to run so much?

Because it's fun. Didn't you think it was fun when you were a little kid?

Yes.

But you fell down and hurt yourself.

Yes.

Do you ever wish you could run now?

Yes.

Are you crying?

No.

Yes you are. Why are you crying?

Because I want to run.
