The Great One

As an incentive to listen and stay on task during class, we are rewarded with a sticker when gymnastics is through.  Typically my teacher puts the sticker of your choice on either your hand, or if you are feeling adventurous, on your cheek.

I, for one, do not enjoy stickers on my hand or my cheek.
They just don’t look cool.  They often fall off within the first five minutes of application.  Not to mention, have you ever tried to peel a sticker off your cheek?  It’s not fun.

So when my teacher brought forth my reward sticker, I thought I would try a little something different to entice the ladies…

Teacher: “Brennan, you did a great job in class today!  Here’s your sticker.”
Me: “Put it on my penis.”
My Mom: “Oh! My! God!”

To steal a line from The Great One, “You miss 100% of the shots you never take.”
It was worth the shot.  I think Wayne Gretzky would have applauded my efforts far more than my Mother did.
