When I was a kid the kids could hula-hoop but the adults almost always found it down around their ankles after about two sways of the hip. That seemed magical to me – something kids could do easily but that eluded the grups.
Now, of course, with a heftier waistline, I find the illusion is shattered.
Even as a kid, I couldn’t do it. But I secretly blamed it on my folks for buying me not the standard “Hula Hoop™” but rather a knockoff brand called “Bali Hoop.” I decided it was no real shame not to be able to Bali Hoop.
