• 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.

• 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.
