 today I was coaching this group of kids who were feeling extra silly and goofy, there were 4 of them, and we were doing this climbing game that had us going around the gym and trying different stuff and it doesn't really matter what the game was---the important thing is that as soon as they were put on a team they insisted that I call them 'The Funny 4' and whenever we went anywhere I had to say, 'Ok Funny 4, let's roll out' and they would all do a somersault in the direction we were going.

In service of the bit I acted very annoyed and unimpressed by the whole thing and as we made our way around the gym I kept going in a very flat and dull tone, "Ok Funny 4, let's roll out." And then they would all giggle and laugh and roll around.

So that was very fun.

And on Monday I made the club kids guess the word 'bolus' which is a large mass of chewed up food and the first time I used that word was like 6 or 7 years ago when we had an onion grass eating contest at afterschool. Good times.
