Little Johnny, a curious young boy, once asked his father a question that amused his mother while she was busy cooking dinner. Johnny queried his father, “Dad, why do grown-ups like to exercise in bed?”
His father, caught off guard but trying to provide an answer, replied with a warm smile, “Well, Johnny, exercising in bed makes grown-ups happy.”
Intrigued, Johnny expressed his desire to experience that happiness too. He said, “I want to be happy too, Dad.”
Understanding his son’s eagerness, his father explained gently, “Well, Johnny, you’ll have to wait until you’re a grown-up to exercise in bed and feel that happiness.”
However, Johnny had another concern. He asked his father, “But who will exercise with me when I grow up?”
With a glimmer of hope, his father replied, “Hopefully, when you get married, it will be your wife who exercises with you.”
Curiosity got the better of Johnny, and he questioned his father further, citing their neighbor Sally as an example. He said, “But Dad, how come our neighbor Sally exercises with you?”
Upon hearing this, Johnny’s mother, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation, rushed out of the kitchen, worried about her husband’s well-being. An ambulance was called, and it arrived promptly ten minutes later.
Exercise is vital for our overall well-being. It not only helps us stay physically fit but also contributes to our mental and emotional health. While exercising in bed may not be the most common form of exercise, it can still bring happiness and a sense of fulfillment to individuals. So, whether it’s stretching, gentle movements, or light cardio exercises, finding ways to incorporate physical activity into our daily lives is always beneficial. Stay active, stay happy!
