I'm talking to the kids about the plan for the afternoon. We need to pick up some toys, do a little schoolwork and then the big kids will watch some tv while I work out (Gemma is napping).
William: when can I turn the tv on.
Mama: when I'm getting ready to exercise. When I am doing my push-ups and sit-ups, you can turn the tv on.
(Amelia crosses her arms across her chest and juts her chin out)
Amelia: mom! Mom! You should not call them sit ups. You are not sitting up.
Mama: what...?
Amelia: you should call them head ups. You only can lift your head up when you do that exercise. You should call it a head up. A sit up should look like this:
(Amelia demonstrates laying completely flat on her back and then sitting completely up without using her hands. Much.)
Amelia: see? That is a sit up. That is not what you do. What you do is like this:
(Amelia lays flat and lifts her head several inches off the ground.)
Amelia: see? See? That is what you do. It is not a sit up.
Mama: ok (trying not to laugh)
William: I can do a mountain climber! Wanna see?
Mama: (laughs out loud). Sure!
