A natural?

So John signed Tara up for gymnastics classes this summer (yes, it's true) and the first one-hour class was Monday afternoon while I was at work. There were four girls in the class. John says he watched them do some stretches but then went off to work on his laptop.

When the class was over, the teacher chased John down to talk with him about Tara. She said she couldn't believe that Tara did not have previous gymnastics training. She couldn't believe that this was her first class ever. She said Tara has an incredible ability and that if she likes gymnastics, she will go very far. She told Tara that she might be doing gymnastics on TV someday (!) The teacher said she was from Romania where she competed and she knows talent when she sees it. She was almost apologetic that Tara was in the basic class for young, new students. She said Tara has the perfect body type and is a natural.

This cracks us up. So she is a natural in soccer AND gymnastics?

When asked what she liked best about the class, Tara said: "Jumping in the ball pit!"
