I Bought A Hula Hoop

Remember Hula Hoops? When I was a kid, everyone had one. It was one of those fun things you could do by yourself, like jump rope or Skip-Bo (look it up). I loved to Hula Hoop.

I saw one the other day and decided, on a whim and much to the disapproval of M, to get it. I thought it would be fun exercise. (Normally fun is to exercise, as axe murderer is to baby sitter.)

Let me just say, I was much better at this when I was a kid. I mean, seriously. How did it get to be so hard to do? I can't keep the damn thing up for more than one orbit around my waist.

I kind of feel bad for laughing at all the old people who failed at Hula Hooping back when I was young.
