Typical tween behavior, I assumed. But when I brought it up, she had a completely different answer. \u201cYou walk too fast.\u201d<\/p>\n

I should have known this answer would come. In fact, she has probably told me the same thing before. I know my wife has. On more than one occasion, she has squeezed my hand and told me to slow down.<\/p>\n

I have the same answer I do for most of my problems \u2013 blame my family.<\/p>\n

Not only am I the youngest in my family, but I\u2019m the mistake baby. I\u2019m five and a half years younger than the closest sibling. The oldest could drive when I was born.<\/p>\n

We traveled a lot growing up. That meant a lot of walking. For me, that meant trying to keep up with my traveling companions.<\/p>\n

I had always chalked it up to the fact that I was younger than everyone else. I still think that might have played a role, but now I think I just found myself born into a clan of fast walkers.<\/p>\n

Even as I grew older, I found myself almost running to keep up with the group at times. Considering my Mom barely broke 5 feet tall, I didn\u2019t have an excuse anymore.<\/p>\n

Now I have to consciously make a decision to walk slowly on occasion. If I end up holding the hand of one of the youngest members of my extended family, I have really, really remember not to drag them along beside me as I move along at my normal pace.<\/p>\n

My experience as a wrestler also plays a role in this habit, especially when I deal with steps. We had to run steps all the time, especially in college. A lot of times, we would take two steps at a time to make the process go faster.<\/p>\n

I now find myself almost incapable of walking up or down steps at a normal pace. I know I have frightened people at work several flights below me as they hear a thundering noise descending toward them.<\/p>\n

Because I have lived most of my life as a procrastinator, my walking speed has sometimes come in handy. I didn\u2019t always shave to pick up the pace to arrive on time even if I didn\u2019t leave much room for error.<\/p>\n

But I know I need to slow down at times. I have seen the shock on people\u2019s faces when I round a corner sometimes. I don\u2019t mean to look like I\u2019m in a terrible hurry.<\/p>\n

I really can\u2019t help it. I just hope I can learn my lesson before I pass it on to my daughter. Maybe it\u2019s a good thing if I\u2019m too embarrassing to walk near.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

I had to go to the mall with my daughter recently. I noticed that she lagged behind me most of the time as we walked.
