I was the one and only kid in my class that fell face first on the lowest balance beam you have ever seen. After the teacher stopped laughing she helped my chunkiness up and told Gram to put me in ballet, gymnastics something to help my sorry self. SO - I became the next Mary Lou Retton at the age of 6...unfortunately I was already too big to become a professional gymnast so I just pushed my fat little self over the vault the best I could. I quit 3 months later after they told my I had to do a somersault ON the balance beam....needless to say the beam would have cried had I done that.Peanut Brittlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08845472443723696409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7953485890119909143.post-85178541998507026692009-07-20T13:26:01.336-07:002009-07-20T13:26:01.336-07:00It's ok, it was a good fall.

I used to ride a skateboard all the time when I was your age. Well, I fell (as Gram would say) "ass over tea kettle" -- I can say that on your blog, since Gram says it. I scraped up my elbow (still have a huge scar) and was black and blue. Needless to say, can't ride a skateboard anymore... too old.caroline joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01065825251590195234noreply@blogger.com
