Be prepared to watch this one with your mouth open in amazement.

This little kid can't possibly be from our planet — but if he is, that means I'm definitely not, because I couldn't learn to do the stuff he does even if I'd started at his age (six) and practiced until I was my age (sixty-six).

I think I'll just watch him and stick to what I'm good it.



* Don't be shy! Leave a reply. Very Happy

Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Confused Shocked Shocked Shocked

Mouth open? I had to pick my entire jaw up off the floor and brush off the lint!

When I had a yo-yo all I could do was Loop-the-Loop and Over the Falls. Maybe an Around the World. Then I had to stop and untangle my string.

Obviously science has made tremendous strides in the field of yo-yo technology. Why, when I was a boy we had to whittle our own yo-yo's out of wooly mammoth bones. Sad

I actually managed to do two round-the-worlds when I was about eight. The first one was just perfect. The second one earned me a capped tooth . . . Shocked

You might be wondering, just how much could science possibly improve something as simple as a yo-yo? Confused

You wouldn't believe how much . . .
Shocked
