Monkey See, Monkey Do

It took me a while to decide whether to post this here or on my running blog.  It's kind of relevant to both.  More people who read about running are going to know what the heck I am talking about here.  But you know.. its a kid story.  And I seem to be incredibly indecisive this past week.

Anyway... its no secret that one of the main ways kids learn is through imitation.  They do what they see.  They say what they hear.

Part of my self-help regimen while I am training is to do some trigger point massage on my calves.  This basically entails sitting on the floor, rolling my leg around on a ball about the size of a tennis ball (and sometimes about the color, consistency, smell, and taste of a tennis ball), until I find a spot that hurts a little more than the rest of it, and massaging those pains out.  Yesterday I was doing just that, and Penelope sat down next to me.  I didn't realize what she was doing at first.  The picture tells the rest of the story.
