Poor mother

In celebration of the holiday, I started out this morning with the intention of not breaking my mother's back by not stepping on any cracks. Surprisingly, this activity takes an exorbitant amount of energy, due to the additional steps for small spaces, and leaps across large chunks of fissured flooring. A small child may have the endurance to sustain such an objective for the entire day, but alas in my oldishness, I do not. Sorry mom.
