“What are you doing dear? You’ll do yourself a mischief if you’re not very careful!”
“I am be do my exercises.”
“Really! Maybe you could try a safer position?”
“No. I am need.”
“Why?”
“So I can be do dis!”
“What is that………….exactly?”
“It is being ………….. exactly……. er……..
…. up-side-down double horned Rhino.”

    Ahhh…the infamous Inverted Double Horned Rhino move, made popular by Aussie ballet dancer and choreographer Sir Robert Helpmann in his Wild Safari Gone Painfully Wrong dance series.
    It was terribly under-rated you know…

    They made me try that once in Yoga and I think I hyperventilated and then pulled a crotch muscle. Or maybe that was the the hippo double reverse handspring. It gets very confusing. *winks*

    They do tend to get themselves in precarious positions, don’t they? I am fairly certain my boys are part pretzel DNA.
