Tales from the grocery store

Ok so yes I know I already posted for the day....but this is seriously post worthy!

So this morning I go out to the ol' gym, and make a quick trip to the grocery store.  I haddecided to make lasagna tonight and I needed to mondo size cans of crushed tomatoes.  While I am standing in line with 2 cans of crushed tomatoes, I notice a man (say 30-40ish years of age), his daughter (probably 6-8 years old), and a man who appears to be the other guy's father (so say 60-70 years of age).  So here I am just chilling out looking pretty disgusting, when the older man notices my shirt...


And here's how I remember our conversation...

Old Guy (OG): Are you a runner?
Me (M): Not really....I just try to get to the gym, I'm not really anything, I'm actually just pretty lazy.
OG: Well this is (pointing to the other man the 30-40ish dude) So and So, and he's an Olympic runner.
M: Oh wow..
So and So turns around...
S&S: Hi
M:(not really understanding what the heck was going on) Hi, it's nice to meet you, I'm Kelley

awkward silence

Anyways...they get through the check out line and I get my crushed tomatoes, and go on my happy way....still not understanding why OG thought I was a runner....

You know, whenever I see a swimming shirt, I think "That person must be a hell of a runner"... so I don't see what the problem is really...
