funny tales from testing

topic posted Sat, June 7, 2008 - 2:17 PM by 
my son was asking me this the other day
thought I tell you
but you have to tell me a funny tale when you tested

Last year all ready to black belt test(okay , sort of ready)
I put my hair in my usual pig tails(like Abby on Ncis)because pony tails hurt my head
had my white gi on, my testing sheet,etc.
anyway, since I'm in the morning class-some other instructors don't know me-
as I come up with my sheet to the table with the instructors
I let them know my name
and one of them asks, "Are you testing in the kids division or adults?"
as she finished -I thinking to myself are you serious ? I smiled/laughed -no, I think I'm too old for the kids.
A couple of people who know me where laughing behind me.
I was 37-I don't think I could pass for anyone under 18-but I think the pigtails threw them off
I laugh at that all the time-makes me feel good

now your turn to tell a tale

    :D

    Wish *I* could pass for that young! You GO girl!

    I'll think.. but I can;tthinkof anything funny about my testing other than one of my senior Black Belts yelling out from teh sides as I was fixing to use a 1st Dan as a throwing dummy.." ..Dont Hurt him, Ms. Nin!!" (Most teh folks seemed to know it was a joke, other spectators seemd to wonder if he was serious.. I get alil intense during testing)... and thats not really Funny.

    Now I have ot go watch an epi. of NCIS so I know how you wore your hair!
