You know you are a gymnast if…

Gymnastics is life and the rest is just spare time.
You have never heard of the words whining and wimps.
You sit in a straddle when you are watching TV.
You have more blisters on your hands from bar than holes in Swiss cheese!

People mistake you for a rubber band.
Your bed is a trampoline.
You use chalk more often than soap.
You’re short enough to model for trophies.
Your friends are at the mall looking at the newest fashions, when you’re looking at leotards.
Your hands have more blisters than knuckles.
You come home with more chalk on you than on a chalkboard.
You point you toes during pull ups for gym class.
You dance down the hallway instead of walk.
Your floor routine music is your favourite song.
You know most vaults aren’t in the bank.
Practice makes perfect isn’t just a saying, but a way of life.
All your friends are eating dinner while you are at practice.
You do pirouettes while waiting in line.
You do handstands everywhere.
You compete calmly before crowds yet suffers anxiety during school tests.
You have the ability to balance your body on a narrow beam yet cannot bend over to pick up the clothes off of the floor of you room.
You have bigger muscles than all the boys in school.
You promise to never stop gymnastics…. like an energizer bunny that just keeps going.
You go to school and take the chalk home from the chalkboard.
Beam is super fat, and definitely easy!
