Skating Student Conversation of the Day: Fireworks

I am attempting to teach children to do backwards wiggles. My lesson is interrupted when Katy Perry's "Firework" comes on.

8-year old: THEY'RE PLAYING 'FIREWORK' AND I'M GOING TO GO SEE FIREWORKS LATER!

Me: Stay off your toepicks! Keep your feet parallel!

8-year old: I LOVE THIS SONG! I LOVE KATY PERRY!

Me (struck by inspiration): Katy Perry doesn't skate on her toepicks.

8-year old: Katy Perry doesn't skate!

Me: How do you know?

The 8-year old is stumped. Point, Katrine.

Aside: I will continue to update this blog at my convenience. This may mean every month and a half. It may mean every six months. Or once a year. I'm scared of commitment.
