You can clearly tell when my eight year old is walking through the house. He sounds like the cliche: a herd of elephants. He’s not the only one I’ve noticed either. When my sister was his age she walked heavily. Why are kids so heavy?
What’s up with that?

Not just kids. It’s lots & lots of people. I have an elderly relative like this. I used to tease her about it, but no more. Two reasons. It hurt her feelings terribly. She also had absolutely no idea what I was talking about. Some people just STOMP into life, yard by yard. The total lack of self-awareness comment tracks. Myself, I’m not a small person, but I’ve tiptoed around for most of my life. Most of it is unconscious at this point, but it’s true, when I actually think about it: I don’t want people to know that I’m there. Parental stuff, other reasons. Etc. There are ninja moments. One basic I’ve noticed is that I walk on the balls of my feet. The loud people walk heel first.
