Quote of the Week.

So one thing that most people know about my family is that we are pretty weird. Sean is the king of saying/doing/thinking of weird things. Lisa, every once in a while, says some pretty funny things, though she doesn't usually mean to. Derek is always saying funny things, usually they consist of making fun of Lisa or myself. Nat and Joe are just always really funny, oh and Chels too. Even Dad and Michael have been known to say a few funny things here and there. I'm funny too, but this is all about my mom and a funny comment that she made today. This isn't really that great of a subject, but it was pretty funny.

So tonight, after dinner, my mom, dad and I were sitting at the table talking about sports and us (kids) playing sports. We talked about how volleyball is better than lacrosse and how Derek should have played basketball and how Sean wants to play tennis. The conversation led to jump roping and how I was always so good at it in my elementary school gym class. My mom then decided to tell me about a game that she played in school. She started off by saying:

"When I was in elementary school they would have us do dances with long poles."

Right when I heard this I was completely freaked out because, of course, the first thing that comes to mind is pole dancing. So I'm wondering where in the world this story is going. Turns out they use to do these dances that required them to dance/jump over long poles that were on the ground.

So this whole incident made me think about all the things that used to be allowed at schools that are no longer allowed in schools. Not that pole dancing was really allowed, but just think of all the things that were.

Kids used to be able to do rope climbing, which is too dangerous for kids now and wear colored gloves because they weren't gang signs then. I just think it's sad what this world has turned into. If I need to sit down I want to be able to sit on the benches outside of the gym and not get yelled at. And if I want to park at the school, I don't want to have to pay $50 for a flippin' parking pass.

Well this entry turned from one subject to another quickly but it is definitely just expressing my feelings at the time.
