Skip to the lou, my darling

I cannot skip. Something in my brain has always prevented my brain physiology from expressing such a rhythm. Laurie tried to teach me how to polka a few years ago at the Barton Fireman's Polka Fest and I simply couldn't do it. It's too similar to skipping. I did enjoy watching the couples of all ages as they danced and circled around to the music.

My second grade teacher Mrs Shreive insisted I could skip. I remember crying and her getting angry with me when I couldn't. I never liked her very much after that incident.
