It’s a Philly thing:

This is reader Mike’s son. He says the young’un is one month from turning six, so if you wanna call him a six year old, we’ll let it fly. He’s closer to six and than five.

Bottom line, however, is that this remains an impressive feat. How many adults can even do 28 push ups? Probably less than 50% of us slovenly slobs. And this young man exhibited pretty good form here. Elbows tucked. Back straight. Narrow space between the seats. He got one dollar for every pushup he did. Take that money and put it in his college fund. It will pay for 25% of a textbook 13 years from now.
