Skipping

I had a GREAT day today so I came out of the building skipping. There were 4 guys standing there and of course I got the weird looks. I stopped, laughed and said "what?"
"What are you doing?"
"I'm skipping."
"Why?"
"Because I know how. I'm not so old that I have forgotten how"
So then there were all these protests that they knew how
"Prove it"
So one did. Or at least tried. He galloped. The others laughed at him so he told them that if they knew how, prove it.
They all galloped.

Is skipping a girl thing or just a child thing?
And I'm not asking if you knew how to skip when you were a kid, can you skip now?

I skipped when I was a kid, but that overcome by my biking hobby

 

There is nothing to get me to, I am already there

 

shichi, I don't believe you. I bet if you stand up right now, you gallop. Or do a really weird hopping shuffle like my husband did.
LMAO. oh, I wish I had a video camera.

 

I can skip a rock across water, I can skip classes at school but when it comes to just plain ol' skipping, I sure can try for sure. I never did before however so all I can do is try. :shrug: At my age, I'd be a wee concerned about tripping instead of skipping.

shorty,
you have sons. Did you teach them to skip? I'm waiting for my son to get home so I can see if he knows how.
I don't think I taught him.

whaaa? you actually can't skip yourself across water? only rocks?

Well, skipping myself across the water would be rather difficult for I'm neither flat nor easily self projected.

I never "skipped" as you are talking about. A few people did on my block though, mostly the girls.

Never taught them, but they can. The 6 yr old can skip, do front flips, cartwheels you name it. (he taught himself) I want to put him in gymnastics but the place close to us is too packed.

 

...ummm...what about the injuries he endured not long ago?

 

Oh so jealous. All my daughter can do is throw herself around the yard. I don't even think she can do a somersault.

 

When he cut his chin, he fell on the ice at school! They should have had it salted or sanded. He has never hurt himself doing any of those things. I can't stop him anyway. Sometimes he will do somer saults all the way down the hall to his room lol.

 

well make sure he wear some sort of children protective wear...the sort bikers wear
