Well, they just literally don't understand physical inability and they thought you were babying yourself. But they are not doctors, though.
Jimmy Olsen jokes're pretty much gonna be lost on you, huh?

Our wings are not tired.
I went through that crap in gym too. I liked most stuff, but couldn't do anything in an inverted position because I would pass out. I told the gym teacher a billion times I could not do a handstand. She forced me to do it; I collapsed and had to be taken out on a stretcher because I hurt my back. Grrrrr.
And a lot of parents are all for zero-tolerance ... until their own kid gets caught in it.
A world of truth there.
I really wish I had the time and energy to fight the system each and every time it has been ridiculous, but there is only so much a single person can do. There have been so many battles over the years with the school system, and I have another 4 years to go. Ugh.

Huh, I never needed a note to say, "Can't, not gonna." Of course, it wasn't like the PE teacher was going to frogmarch me around the track. A Gandhi-esque bout of lump-on-the-groundness seemed to work.
Mostly I bowed out of things that involved flinging myself around. They brought out gymnastics equipment and expected a bunch of lumps to cavort on the stuff, whereas all I saw were broken bones in my future.
Oh, and swimming in high school.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I was very lucky wrt gym. K-8 all of my gym teachers were wonderful about letting me participate as much as I felt comfortable, without ever questioning me. In highschool, I had another study period.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Maybe he'd been smoking the ganjhi.

Now when I experience inappropriate giggling when someone mentions Gandhi it is all P-C's fault. Or I could blame it on the ganjhi. Either way much explaining will have to follow.

Hey, hivemind. I'm doing tshirts for my BFF's son's charity walk. I've designed a "superman" theme, but I can't find a royal blue tshirt on zazzle or cafepress. Any other sites where you can create your own stuff?
Thanks!

FYI, I got an email from Emily, and her school is now blocking b.org. She said to let you all know.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
