Pretty Problematic

I’m a gymnastics coach, and sometimes I like to be melodramatic to make my students laugh. Some of them like to match my energy.

I had the following interaction with a nine-year-old girl:

Me: “Hey, you got a problem?”

Girl: *Looks me up and down, then crosses her arms.* “Yeah, I got a problem.”

Me: “Well, I got a problem, and it’s four feet tall and wearing a pink leotard.”

Girl: *Without taking so much as one nanosecond to think about it.* “Well, at least your problem’s pretty.”
