Mine was the time in fifth grade when I threw my wicker lunchbox (which my mother thought was charming, while I dreamed of a nice, new, metal Barbie one) at Donald Mays, the class bully. He had gone too far and I was fed up. Based on experience, he believed me completely incapable of hitting the broad side of a barn, and he never even ducked. I hit him square on and he ended up with a bloody nose, while I relished a rare and rather triumphant moment! He never bothered me again, and we all learned a valuable lesson (blah, blah, blah). I still have that wicker lunchbox, which I lined in leftover toile about 30 years ago. So now, I feel all warm and glowy, just remembering my stunning athleticism, and I feel all warm and glowy for your nominations. Now to go and vote....Daisyfleabanenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698879802773566105.post-59740417662833606802011-02-18T03:44:06.948-08:002011-02-18T03:44:06.948-08:00Such a funny PE story Tif!

I had about as much enthusiasm for anything athletic as you. My greatest achievement for avoiding double games was hiding and getting myself locked in the changing room for 2 hours. I got detention for that :)Leandahttp://www.onelittlebirdstudio.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698879802773566105.post-15202943065428568512011-02-18T01:54:00.701-08:002011-02-18T01:54:00.701-08:00I shall cast my vote in your direction.
