As I put the kids to bed, the Human Tape Recorder tells me the good news \u2013 she has, after only 5 years of school, won something in PE. Now, your mileage may have varied, but my recollection of PE is certainly where modern notions of waterboarding came from, so the fact the she\u2019s excited by this fact is not unreasonable. I personally never won *anything* in PE other than \u201ckid most likely to get picked dead last for whatever fresh hell the instructor has invented today.\u201d <\/p>\n
Looking back, the coach always just *declared* some kids to be captains. Did those kids actually know how to blow the coach, or were their moms involved? It was always the same kids\u2026 But I digress.<\/p>\n
Anyway, the HTR has won the coveted \u201cNational Fitness Award\u201d in doing something called a \u201ccrunch-up\u201d, which turns out to be (go figure) a cross between a crunch and a push up. Like I said, today\u2019s Fresh Hell. But she did something on the order of 30+ of them within the requisite timeframe, and was duly rewarded. I squeed for her, out of a sense of duty as well as pride, and she told me about it: They were very difficult, and then they were easy, and then more difficult, and her stomach muscles hurt, but then her stomach muscles were strong. <\/p>\n
And then, the coup-de-gr\u00e2ce: \u201cOf course, it may be just because I\u2019ve been puking my guts out.\u201d<\/p>\n
There you have it, boys and girls \u2013 bulimia is the next Olympic sport. Shite \u2013 I really need to watch this one, if only because she\u2019s going to have us accidentally arrested one of these days. She threw up exactly once, two days ago, in the middle of the night, but this is obviously why she now sports washboard abs. <\/p>\n
