I bought boy skates (used) with yellow laces. We stopped at Time Hortons and drank hot chocolate as we skated on an outdoor rink. I didn't fall down once. James tried to teach me how to do that nifty cross thing you do with your feet as you go around a corner. That hasn't worked out for me yet. I practiced stopping sharply, like the guys do, and I think I can eventually get that figured out. My feet hurt a little, but we're going again tomorrow.
It makes me sad when young boys swear too much.
