Jumping 101

A post I've been meaning to write for quite some time now, but it still applies...

How to Jump:
1. Begin to prepare yourself. This includes clinching your hands and wiggling your butt.
2. Bend down.
3. Stand up.
4. Bend down. Wiggle your butt.
5. Stand up. Giggle. That was close!
6. Bend down.
7. Stand up! Woah!
8. Bend down.
9. Stand up really quickly! You almost left the ground that time!
10. Bend down.
11. Stand up quickly again. I think your left foot actually jumped!
12. Wobble. Wobble. Giggle.
13. Take a break. That was a little scary.
14. Think about what might happen if you ACTUALLY do jump... you might not be able to land! You might fly off into space!
15. Repeat because it's fun anyway.

Secret step number 15b: Repeat while on a bed. This inhibits the body's natural fear of landing, making it significantly easier for your feet to actually break contact with the surface below you.
