My Daily Life (Carrying My Son)

My son is four years old and currently weighs 16 kilograms.
We walk to his preschool, but he prefers to be carried.
I do my best for about 50 meters, but my arms start to hurt.

That’s when we started playing Rock-Paper-Scissors Glico.
In this game, we play rock-paper-scissors, and the winner moves forward based on their winning hand:

Rock (グー): “Glico” → 3 steps
Scissors (チョキ): “Chocolate” → 6 steps
Paper (パー): “Pineapple” → 6 steps
Did you play this game when you were little?
Step by step, my son and I move forward while playing.
The road to preschool feels long.

Meanwhile, my daughter says, “I’m pretty heavy, so a hug is enough for me,” and walks while giving me a hug.
She’s so thoughtful.
