Oh No! & a Joke from a 7 Year Old
My third class of the evening has a couple who have attended as long as I have been teaching, they are a lot of fun and always up for something new. Last week she was feeling a little yucky. This week he wasn’t doing to well and said if we could just lay on the floor and breathe that would be great. It started out as Turkey and Gravy prior to the class might have been the culprit (she says last week he made a bean casserole that made her sick), but I think they both just have had a bad run in with the stomach flu. 30 minutes into class he had to leave and was sick downstairs when I left, poor thing – they are both so nice.
I hope I don’t catch it too !
Note: Don’t eat heavy meals prior to class. I am reminded of a kids’ yoga class I taught at a health club. One little girl at the end of class stands up from a pose and starts heaving pink liquid and chunks all over the floor. We had done a lot of twisting and some small inverting. Turns out she came to class right after school and her mom gave her an apple in the car so she could have a snack. Wow, never realized just how much dye and wax are in apples before. She was fine, but I felt so bad – she was the sweetest girl in the class, 7 years old. She told me a joke once,
"Ms.Emily, what do you call a bra stretched across the street?"
I looked at her and said, "What?"
"You know Ms.Emily, a bra!" and she points across the room back and forth at my chest.
"I don’t know, what?"
"A boobie trap!" And she falls over laughing hysterically, I almost did too. I love working with kids.
