Hula hoops

On my way from work , I saw a lil gal about 6 yrs old- umching with a hula hooping , and lil gal was just winding I tell you. Betcha the gal can dance to ndombolo more than maself , not that I really fancy that kinda music.

Didn't think pple still hoop, but a search on google led me to a coupla sites, I mean there are hoop groups & events and pple do it to exercise, meditate, dance and to pull some tricks.Hooping aint even abt the waist kuphela, in looking at some of the clips on one website, I could identify some of the hoop moves , but i just thought those were Magic(remember the magicians who would come to Khumalo bhururu ?) or acrobat tricks .

As I walked past her, I saw myself years ago, don wanna say many coz it would make me feel like some vintage.Kodwa, I used to hoop , madoda.Then I thought of all the other games I played, from uSweety with some piece of wool, to the various skipping games,or hopscotch, then to umamtshayana which I didn't quite like( was afraid of the ball, and still am.) One thing abt umamtshayana was the way we would kwinca our lil dresses or skirts emaceleni, such that the elastic from our panties would keep them in place. Guess that's why we were all fit then.

I will be making myself a hoop.Thanx for reminding me abt the hoop kido, as well as ma life back then, when my only cares were when would break time start, or when would it be 'hometime',what games would I play, and who would be ma team mates.
