"Are you sure you
want to come with me?" My fifteen-year-old daughter couldn't miss the
doubt in my tone. Nikki used to think exercise was similar to slow death.
But that day was
different. "Yeah," she said, "I haven't spent much time with you
lately." She wore her sweatshirt, took an oversized water bottle and
looked at me expectantly.
"Okay, let's go
then." Doubtful or not, I was grateful my teenage daughter still wanted to
hang out with me.
Suddenly, I had
visions of Nikki becoming my new workout partner. And we would build a whole
new relationship based on our common love of exercise.
The ten-minute drive
to the gym went smoothly. After we entered the two-story building, we found two
treadmills (跑步机), side by side. I placed
my water bottle in the holder, hung a face towel over the handrail (扶手) and took off my sweatshirt. Nikki's water bottle was too large to
fit into the holder, so she set it on the floor and climbed onto her treadmill.
Stepping over to her,
I told her how to control the treadmill. "You might want to fasten the
safety key to your shirt," I instructed her.
"Why?"
"It'll protect
you if you fall."
She rolled her eyes. "That's
not going to happen."
I knew from experience
that it was useless to argue with her. And really, I'd never actually seen
anyone fall from the treadmill, so I figured she had a point. I increased my
speed; she increased hers. Several minutes later, I noticed her eyeing the
water bottle she'd set on the floor.
"Don't reach for
that bottle while you're moving. If you need a drink, stop the treadmill first,"
I warned.
With an eye roll and
headshake, she ignored me. She managed to hold the water bottle, if not
gracefully, at least successfully. Maybe I wasn't giving her enough credit.
Then I heard a loud thump (碰撞声). It
took me a moment to realize that the noise wasn't coming from behind me but
beside me.
