What’s on the other side?

My eldest was questioning her desire to go to parkour while riding home from school in the rain. It’s not hard to see why. On the other side was an hour-long ride in more rain before an hour of parkour and a ride home.

This is what her mum said to her: “What separates you from what you want (parkour) is getting cold, wet, and tired. If you want it, you need to recognise that, and get through it.”

You guessed it, I rode Ellie to parkour not her mum.
