family-member run-around

Refers to the common but totally unproductive/destructive practice of a young child's parents and/or two or more older family members successively "delegating" or "passing the buck" from one family member to another when the youngster asks a difficult/uncomfortable question, rather than the initially-queried adult's simply saying, "I don't know" or, "That is not something you need to know just yet --- wait till you're a few years older to ask about that."

Small girl: Daddy, how was I born? Where did I come from?
Father (glancing up from his evening paper): Go ask your mother that question.
Small girl (toddling over to her mother, who is knitting by the fire): Mommy, how was I born? Where did I come from?
Mother (looking up from her knitting, surprised): You know --- that's a really excellent question... why don't you ask your father about that.
Small girl: Well, I already did --- Daddy told me to ask you.
Mother (exasperated): Oh --- well, then, I think maybe your Uncle John could help you answer that.
Small girl (going outside where her uncle is lounging on the porch swing): Uncle John, how was I born? Where did I come from?
Uncle John: Hummmm... lemme guess --- didja ask your parents about that, and they sent you to me?
Small girl: Yes, Uncle John --- Mommy said you'd be just the person to ask.
Uncle John: Ahhhh... givin' ya da ol' family-member run-around, are they?

running

cardio activity that, despite its huge popularity and cult status, is actually not that great for your joints, gradually destroying your knees, in particular, at an accelerated pace.

searching this quickly online will tell you that you can avoid knee pain after running by "icing your knees" and "taking anti-inflammatory medication as needed", but this alone should tell you running is not actually healthy for you in the first place, for real! why not pick to have good knees when you are in your 80s?

if you do insist in picking this activity, over kinder ones, like swimming, biking, or power walking, for example, as a challenge, to prove yourself or just because you wanna purely impress when prancing around in aesthetic athletic gear or mentioning your average pace, do be mindful to: select adequate shoes, take some supplements to help your joins, like glucosamine, avoid running downhill, always just uphill, build good form, to reduce impact and wobbling on stepping, skip running on asphalt and pick running tracks, thread mills or dirt paths that are even, and do a lot of leg exercises, to build up your surrounding muscles, so that they take pressure off the knees.

anyone asking: Forcett, wanna go running?
Doug: no.
