What could you do as a child........

[Lisa loves Pooh]

The flippy things we used to do off the swingset---and for the more talented off of the single bar (not the monkey bars).

You know--swing high--flip yourself over for the dismount and land on your feet--or at least on all fours?

I don't know how to describe it but I could sit flat on the ground with my legs bent at the knees, away from my body. That sounds weird but I could sit for hours like that playing jacks.

My middle DS (Michael, remember) used to sit that way all the time when he was younger. Being 6'2, I doubt he could now.

In my family, we call that the "W"! I'm proud to say that I can still do it.

do the russian dance...where you are swatting and you kick your legs out...wish I could do that now but the ol' knees can't take it!

Holycow

Play all day and not get tired. I also used to be double jointed, but I seemed to have lost it over the years.

I could sing both "It's a Small World" and "Happy Birthday" in Hebrew when I was in preschool or kindergarten- we have it on home video!

Today, I'm lucky if I can remember any Hebrew beyond shalom...

That would be known as a "cherry drop" and I definitely am not able to do it any more either!

Laugh exactly like PeeWee Herman...that's an accomplishment!!! )
Put my feet behind my head
Do math
Not want to be sent to my room

I can do it too!
