It was the first day of fourth grade. My teacher passed out worksheets containing the classic get-to-know-you survey: full name, favorite food, best summer memory.
"What's your favorite sport?" is the one that stuck out to me.
Back then, I kicked soccer balls, dribbled basketballs and attended dance classes all at once. Contemplating the toughest decision a fourth grader can make, I scribbled
"dance" in squiggly, crooked handwriting.
I hesitated before reading my response out loud, already imagining my classmates' laughter. After all, the question "should dance be considered a sport" was a hot topic in grade school.
But even today, I'm never surprised by the
classic response:
"Pfft, dance isn't a sport!"
