Let the Adventure Begin!

Kyra had been attending gymnastics classes for a couple of months. Every weekend I talked to her coach to see how she did in class, what she needed to work on at home and how we could help her improve. Finally I decided to join the adult gymnastics class so I could learn the basics for when she practiced at home. I remember as I was driving up there I almost rurned the car around. what was I doing?! I have NEVER in my life done gymnastics. I was feeling very nervous because I dont join groups when I dont have any friends apart of them. Then I remembered Kyra's coach just so happened to be the adult instructor which made me feel less nervous since we had talked every week. So imagine my surprise when he walks up to me at the beginning of class, puts his hand out and says "Hi, I am coach Ramon." I slapped his hand away and laughed quite surprised that he didnt recognize me and exclaimed "You know me! My daughter is in your class!" Then he asked me "Who's your daughter again? I coach a lot of kids and talk to a lot of parents." So I tell him Kyra is my daughter. He the says something like "Ah yes, I remeber now, your clothes are just different than usual" To this day I give him a hard time about not being that memorable to him. One thing I know for sure is he will certainly always remember me snacking his hand away.

I was coming out from the gym after teaching a level 2 class. I called out for the adults for adult class. There was typically only 3 people who showed up each week for it and that day a new face was there; or so I thought. I walked up to her she seemed pretty excited, energetic, had a big smile on her face and was doing this thing where she bounces her shoulders up and down almost like dancing. (I now know she does that out of nervousness) I held out my hand to her and said "Hi I'm Coach Ramon nice to meet you!" she smacked my hand and said "You know me you coach my daughter!" I made a bewildered face as I frantically tried to recall who she was the mother of and just ended up replying "who is your daughter again? I coach so many kids and talk to a lot of their parents." She proceeded to tell me "it's Kyra we talk every week." Then I replied " Ah yes now I remember you are wearing different clothes than what I typically see you in so I didn't recognize you at first."
