James always worried about his daughter, Jill. She always had that independent streak growing up. The past Thanksgiving, she announced to the family that she would be moving to the big city to work on her acting career.

When Jill’s sister wondered aloud if Jill would keep up her workout routine, Jill assured everyone that she’d still get her three mile walk in every day by strolling through the park. It didn’t take long for sparks to fly across the dinner table.

James resolved that he’d support his daughter, no matter what. So at Christmas time, a few days before Jill planned to leave town, he picked up an extra gift.

"Jill," he said, when he sat her down at the next family gathering, "I’m sorry if it sounded like I wasn’t behind you all the way the last time we all were together."

"I know, Dad," said Jill, "the city’s a lot different than this town, and you just want me to be safe."

"That’s right," James replied, "so when I heard about these, I thought they might help both of us feel a little better about your move."
 

He explained how the Hot Walkers looked and felt just like a regular pair of aerobic hand weights, the kind people use to keep their hearts in good shape.

"But these weights keep you alive in another way," James explained. "Let’s say you run into someone who wants to hurt you. Just press this button right here to blast them with pepper spray. They won’t be able to do much of anything for a while, so you can run and get help."

"I know you want to keep the same kind of independence you’re used to out here in the country," James paused, placing a hand on Jill’s knee. "This lets you stay in control, and it’ll keep me and your sister from worrying about you on those walks."

Jill hugged her dad, and settled in for a warm celebration with the rest of her family. This time, everyone knew she could handle living on her own in the big city.

Yours in safety, Mitch McDonald
