Kids Should Walk to School

Research shows (we need research for this?) that walking to school helps kids stay skinny. But why don't parents do it? I walked to school at age 5 and it was over a mile and often in snow. It was uphill both ways. Ha!

I know why I don't do it: Because I know that there are no less than 12 convicted sex offenders within a mile of the school my kids go. When I was a kid, this information wasn't known. It's known now.

So, my kids get fat or they get stolen. Guess what I chose?
