Suddenly Immobile

When dropping off Valerie at school today, I looked down to discover I had gained 55 pounds - 25 on my right, 30 on my left. Both girls were holding onto my legs for dear life. I tried to move, but quickly stopped, realizing that if I did move, all three of us would tumble to the ground. I was suddenly immobile.

Fortunately, we were not running late this morning. So, I conversed with VV's teachers hoping each child would release their grip. I joked aloud that, "Yes, there may come a time when I'll miss my children anchoring themselves to my legs!"

So we just stood there and I smiled.
