Ballet

I notice yesterday that I mentioned something about being a ballerina. And it reminded me of my one foray into the world of ballet.

When I was a wee child, probably four or five, my grandmother really wanted me to take ballet.

So I was enrolled in ballet.

Here's the thing. I was obviously not meant for ballet.

I generally consider myself to be a fairly athletic person, who can pick up sports rather easily. But I am not, nor have I ever been, flexible.

I was the kid in class that couldn't do half the stretches and only really liked when we practiced jumps. That was the best.

Needless to say, I never took ballet again. And I'm still not flexible.
