Life Can Be So Unfair

Yesterday, the kids had a "Walk-n-roll-n-run-if-you-wanna-thon" at their school. We all did the 3 mile walk, and everything worked out just fine. More fun and games started at the conclusion of the running/walking/rolling. The kids participated in a tricycle race. Gavin stumbled in the middle of the race because his tricycle wouldn't turn in the right direction. He was very upset at the end, and was crying and yelling because, in his words:

-My trike cheated. It wouldn't let me turn.

Right after he said this, Emma asked him what was wrong. "Why are you crying, Gavin?" she asked empathetically.

To this, he replied, "I never win races!"
And the sobbing continued for a few minutes.
