After the episode with Mr Cunty (see below), and after she'd made me do some stuff that made me look like Superman, except not actually flying, Anuja and I sat cross-legged on the mats.
Me (small voice, looking at my hands): Anuja?
Personal trainer: Yeah?
Me: Could you ... um ...
Personal trainer: Yes babes?
Me: Um, teach me to do cartwheels. And handstands. When I'm thinner. You know.
Personal trainer: Why's that, babes?
Me: Well, I've never been able to do them, even when I was little, and I really want to.
Personal trainer: Sure. Be fun. Want to know how to do this?
She gets up, runs, skips a bit, then actually and literally spins in the air without touching the ground and lands on her feet. I applaud, and make her do it 3 times. She tries to high-five me, and for once I accept.
Me: Gosh*. Yes.
Personal trainer: Tell you what. Let's start with a backwards roll.
Me: OK. I think I can do them.
Personal trainer: Good.
* I actually did say "gosh", as unlikely as it seems.
