Jason would conquer a Gymnastics of the Mind class.

them are some LLOOOOOONNNNNGG shoe strings

Sad story

I used to double knot my walking shoes. I’ve found that if I slip the loops back under the knot, I don’t have to do this.

I tie my sneakers just loosely enough that I can slip them on. It saves me a lot of time and aggravation.

The worst thing about gym class was the showers… no, the rope climb… no, dodgeball Fridays… no, the smell… no…

I told my pet centipede I was going to the bar and did he want to come. I waited an hour for a response, then said “Okay, I’m going”. He says “hang on, I’ve got 2 more shoes to get on”

Jason has a budding “arts and crafts” talent which will send him on many trips! ;-p

You can’t KNOT go to gym class!

That’s pretty much how I felt about it!

I had a choice, gym class or ROTC, took ROTC…

I wish I had known a good way of getting out of gym class. It was the main area where I endured a lot of bullying because of my yet undiagnosed autism. I was 53 before I joined a gym because of these memories, and I’m glad I did, because being fit makes me feel so much better.

So, Jason wears boot shoelaces on his gym sneakers?
