During choreo camp after going over and over this one section. One of the girls clearly did not get what was going on (she was a first year). The Coach was like show me your five. The girl gave this baffling look, and the coach repeated, show me your five. So the girl holds up her hand and shows all five fingers, and the entire staff nearly died.
 
A long time ago we went to an America's Best comp, they gave us goody bags that came with a ton of stuff ( not always age appropriate for littles) . Well one of my girls who was 7 at the time walks up to me and says with tears in her eyes....' My arms kinda burn, I put the lotion from the goody bag on and it burns really bad' I look into the bag and yep, its Nair! lol, we rushed to the bathroom to wipe it off along with all of her arm hair, poor thing. She graduates this year with her last performance being at Worlds, I think I will gift her some Nair! lol.
 
this isnt cheer related but my 4 year old cousin came to visit me at my house (we're very close) and she seriously is the most inquisitive child i've ever met.. so as my uncle is putting away food, she asks "whats in that?" (it was beef), and my oh-so-smart uncle says "its barbequed dogs!" she kinda laughed so we thought nothing of it, that week her mom calls my family yelling because my cousin stood up and told her entire class that at her uncles house we eat barbequed dogs. moral of the story: dont joke with 4 year olds...
 
This happened a long time ago.......little bit was probably K/1st grade ish. 1st National of the season and they're stunting and she's cheesing like she did back then and part of her stunt didn't happen. After she came off the floor her coach kneels down and says "LITTLE BIT WHAT HAPPENED IN YOUR STUNT??" Little bit says......."Ms Debbie......I lost my tooth" (With the lisp of someone who's used to having her tooth in her mouth) She opens her mouth and sure enough...lmao.....there's a gaping hole where her tooth used to be. Ms Debbie laugh's and says...."Well it's kind of hard to be mad at her over that." Little bit wanted Ben to stop the competition and look for her tooth. He refused. Back then we wore those Power shoes that had the teal parts on the bottom. They had little grooves in them for traction I guess. Anyway I couldn't help but wonder if a kid showed up at their house that night with a little tooth stuck to the bottom of their shoe. How disgusting........lmao............. We had to write a note to the tooth fairy explaining the situation. She was very accommodating, considering.
 
Just remembered another story hahahah,
Okay so I coach Juniors at my gym, but one day I was asked to help out with the Mini team. I went to introduce myself to the team and after saying hello and telling them my name, one little girl's eyes lit up. She smiled so big and goes,
"Wow! Are you in College?!" She seemed so amazed and began asking all sorts of questions.
Conversation went as follows -
Mini - "How old are you?! ARE YOU 30?!"
Me - "No... not even close."
Mini- "Are you 40?! Because my uncle is looking for a girlfriend and he's 40, too!"
... Tryna get set up by a 6 year old. Good lookin' out, little one.
 
Last year my Princess was on a mini exhibition team and we were at a comp that was out of town, we walked in and she was surprised with how big the venue was. There was another gym standing in the hallway and she says very very loudly "Make way please we are Platinum and we are here to take all the trophys. We need to get through" Not my proudest moment but it did make me and alot of other mamas laugh
 
Last year at a Jamz comeptition, a youth aged kid asked us what level we were. One girl said level 6 and the kid responded with "Wow!! You guys can all tumble so good then!!" We had a good laugh, cos the girl she said this to was a non-tumbler, and she just rolled with it and said, "yup, I can!!"
 
I have new ones everyday hahaha I have one girl on my Junior team who is 9 and dishes out the best lines. She's so innocent and precious bless her heart hahaha
Today, she tried to explain to me the difference between "barfing" and "puking".. barf is when you toss up food but puke is what happens "when like you eat something you're not supposed to like soap or dog food or legos."
WHAT.
 
My favorite is something my CP said a couple of years ago when she was on a mini team. I asked her why she always made fish faces when she was flying. She looked at me dead serious and said "Miss B always tells me to squeeze my cheeks when I go up."
The coaches still laugh about that :D
