My kids didn't think I could do this. They were making fun of me. They said, Dad, you're going to bust your hip again. And I was like, no, I don't think so. They're like, Dad, you're going to pull your neck. I'm like, nope, not this time. They're like, Dad, you're going to blow out both your Achilles like you did. No, I won't.
