Too funny, I managed to get out of almost ALL my gym classes in high school, except volleyball (I liked that game) because of some illness or another - I had a doctor's note! Lucky me - I hated gym class and had no coordination!! :-)

Oh, that poor woman at the museum, I would have felt SO bad for her!

Yeah, I thought that incident was so FUNNY! Imagine the story she has to tell to all who would listen. Can you imagine her grandchildren passing that story along? Funny. And sad. But more funny.

I loved Dodge Ball! Just had to throw that in there. They just don't play it the same way anymore. Now, they just roll the ball on the ground and try to hit the legs and feet! Sissies.

I have never been able to do one pull up. I hated gym class. Sometimes I still have bad dreams about it.

I feel sooo bad for that person! I'd be likely to do the same sort of thing. I'm not the most coordinated person~ haha

That picture of the kid running in fast speed - was that taken at Ole Man Island, Port Orleans Riverside, Disneyworld?

"Hate" was not in my vocabulary until 7th grade, when PE became mandatory. Oh, the torture! I tried everything - I had fevers, cramps, sprained ankles and wrists; I sat out one semester and took my first and only "F"; one semester I got out of it by volunteering as a school crossing guard, another year as a remedial teaching assistant, and yet another as a library assistant.

I'm pretty sure William Taft could not do a chin up.

Dodge ball is the worst. My memories include the class bully making sure he threw the ball as hard as he could at my face knowing I was a slow reactor. Nothing made him laugh harder than watching my lip bleed from the ball smashing my lip into my braces.

To this day I hope he has a miserable life.

ps - I DID not hear about the poor lady falling into the Picasso. How

That's aweful!! I hated PE but when I was younger I love volleyball!

I have a post I'm working on about all the glass i've broken in the last couple weeks. MIrrors, frames, glass tables, don't know what's got into me - but it's a good think I'm not supersticious!

I heard about this and felt so sorry for that person! But, really it's just stuff...really cool stuff...but just stuff. :)

I was a total klutz growing up and hated gym class. You were not alone. I do have a little pleasure in seeing the "athletic girls" from high school all fat now... (is that bad???!!) Poor Picasso painting.

2010-01-28T20:58:26.723-05:00

"They must have had bad parents that chased them while mine were sweet and loved me."

That's it. That's definitely it. Yes, mine were sweet and loved me too.

Stupid laps.

Very amusing.

2010-01-28T20:33:32.716-05:00

I hated gym in elementary school - the uniforms we had to wear were horrible. It was a one piece short jumper that had snap buttons from the wait up. Very uncomfortable for a developing girl.

Ooooohhhhh... Just thinking about gym class gives me an oogy belly.
I broke my arm when they made me climb the rope. I was so upset that I started crying and let go.

2010-01-28T17:40:03.438-05:00

The only reason I got a "D" in gym class my senior year of high school was so I could graduate. My gym teacher thought that was better than making me go through the torture (hers) of my taking the class again.

So glad it wasn't me who wrecked the painting :-)

2010-01-28T16:02:33.231-05:00

I read about the Picasso painting and could not imagine how mortified I would have been had it been me. But I still had to laugh.

I hated gym class but was a decent softball player...makes me wonder where my girls got the athletic gene for soccer.

2010-01-28T15:53:48.705-05:00

I have two left feet, but my husband is pretty graceful.

I really hope the kids get his genes on this one.

Excellent post.

You are bringing back happy memories for me! I won The Presidential Physical Fitness Challenge one year.

i felt bad for her too.
If she was like me she was wildly waving her arms saying what she saw in the painting and lost her balance

2010-01-28T14:03:09.580-05:00

WOW, you could have been writing about my gym class and my lack of athletic ability. Now I actually enjoy working out and trying to get back into running. BUT, super athlete I'll never be.

2010-01-28T13:37:09.289-05:00

You are so funny! I am also a huge klutz. Every night as I undress for bed I discover new bruises on my body and have no idea what they are from. Huge ones too.

Oh God I hated gym days. They'd make us run up this big hill in around the school and time laps and do sit ups, pull ups...UGH.
