Gotta love 7th grade girls...

(No, not you CPJ.) heehee

Overheard at our practice track meet before the first real one:

Girl P: "What should I do if I'm scared to do the hurdles??"

P's buddy Girl M: "Ummm.... I think you just jump over them."

This set off my fellow track coach, BH, with "What should I do if I don't want to do the long distance? I suppose I'll just run it. What should I do if I don't want to do the shot put? I guess I'll just throw it." Etc!

Oh man, I love middle-schoolers. They have such concrete thinking skills...it's really enviable.

7th grade is the best, by the way. Not as I remember personally, but definitely from the teacher's perspective.

Ha! No doubt! I just smile inside and remember how thankful I am that I can view this age from my perspective rather than being there again!
