You’re Right, Kid. I’m Awesome. 

I pick the students up from gym: 

Kid: “Miss Emily, guess what? I can do 18 push ups!”
Me: “Wow. Impressive!”
Kid: “Yeah. Also I can do like 12 pull ups. But I’m sure that’s not impressive to you.”
Me: “Why would you say that?”
Kid: “You run marathons. You can probably do like 100 pull ups!”
Me: “Yeah. Good point. But don’t worry, you’ll get there one day too, kid!”

I can do exactly 1 pull up. Sort of.
