Reading and Rolling

Standard
Reading and Rolling

I had an idea. I shared it with Her Royal Highness. She was onboard. And so…

The best part was Instructor being so into it, too. At first, HRH and I looked at each other, unsure what to do.

“You can do this,” Instructor said, borrowing Blonde to demonstrate.

“And if she tries to punch you, you can block her arm with your elbow.”

It was also Instructor’s idea to wear glasses and pause to push them back up my nose. Unfortunately, I forgot to do that last part, but I think the glasses are a nice touch nonetheless.

Instructor also passed out the books at the end, allowing us to wait a bit for some stragglers just walking in to join. He seemed really excited and encouraging, not just for the vid, but for the book. The guy on the bench was the same.

One woman was there for her very first class. She was probably confused but joined in. How they positioned themselves was entirely their idea.

I was blown away. “Wow, you guys. This is so kind of you. Thank you so much.”

What I didn’t say because, as we know, I suck at marketing was, “And if anyone wants to take one home, let me know!”

Class started five minutes late because of this. Are they the best crew, or what?
