An impartial judge

I ran today for the first time in a week or so, and it hurt. A lot. So I came home, huffing and puffing. Ellison was very excited for my return.

E: Mommy, you home!
Me: Yup. I went running.
E: Yeah.
Me: That was hard. Hey, sweet pea, did I do a good job running?\
E: silence
Me: Hey, Elle, tell Mommy I did a good job running today.
E: But I no see it.

I guess it's true that she couldn't really make an accurate assessment of my running as she was not a direct witness. I guess I'll just have to pat myself on the back.
