Psssst.....

...am I the only adult who doesn't know how to skip?

I can't seem to get the co-ordination right.

Seriously. I just tried.
It helps when you're the only person in the department at the moment.

It comes out as a cross between a half-hearted hop and a limp.

Why am I trying to skip?

Someone on TV said that it's impossible to remain grumpy/pissed off if you skip.

So...

Skip to work.

Skip around the jam-packed aisles of Tesco on a weekend.

Skip out of your boss's office after a particularly trying meeting.

Skip to your chores; skippety skip as you hang out piles of wet laundry or iron never-ending wrinkly clothes or sweep/mop your heart out.

Get out of your car in barely crawling traffic and skip skip skip around the nearby cars.


Too bad I can't skip.

I can skip! NM doesn't know where to hide when I start, but I can - and I do!

I believe it makes me look younger.

Snowie: Funny, now that I'm consciously thinking about it, I can't skip, even with the broken down steps! I could before, I swear! :D Used to skip in the office with Box on the way to the pantry all the time .

Spot: Try not to left-brain it. Just skip! It's a 'feeling' thing. Heehee :)

But can you cycle???
...cos I haven't heard the end of it yet, since my friends are still rolling around on the floor laughing their arses off! :(

Maybe it may help if you sing the "Lou, Lou, skip to my Lou" song. Or was it skip to my loo? Anyway, if you don't know which song am referring to, next time, I'll get Piglet No.1 to sing it to you and skip with you. And yes, Snowie is really GOOD at skipping. I remember that. Very bouncy...her skipping and her hair too....ahahahah....

Jay - eeeeeeee...that, and the propellor arm swings aren't going to help keep you in the closet at work!

snowie - that's cos it LOOKS WIERD. Or maybe I look wierd to me.

eightyone - Here! Here! Once, I turned around...and fell over. No particular reason why.

wandernut - eeeeeee... and Box (i know you're lurking!) EEEEEEE. Cannotlah. It's like how wierdly ostriches run.

lae - Hello there, welcome! I can cycle but mainly in straight lines. Haven't quite mastered turning. I'm a town-centre kid...what's your excuse? :)

boobs/aka ex-fss - I've always wondered that too...why would anyone skip to the loo? Maybe I should try, I go there so often. Will get lots of practice.

And btw, Snowie skips like as if she's doing ballet. :D
