My Olympic Dream . . . Gold Medal in Storytelling

Oh my, I can't believe time goes by so fast, it seems like just a few years ago I was watching little men in top hats choreograph dance moves at the Olympic opening ceremonies in London . . . in a blink of an eye I'm watching some of the greatest athletes in the world compete in Rio de Janeiro!

It was the usual cast of characters but with the addition of Simone Biles I'm inspired to train to be a gymnast also since I have already mastered swimming and running.

But just when I didn't think I could get any more inspiration from the Olympics I found a new source of inspiration and he shined even after his event was over.

Talk about a life lesson that could stay with me forever.  

I will always remember him as the person who taught me the art of the Tall Tale and I really put it to work tonight. 

I really wanted to go to City People's to buy something, anything really, so I told Daddy they were giving away free gold there.

Yep, now I'm feeling like I just won a Gold Medal, even if the place was closed by the time we got there.

I'm not saying there wasn't the possibility that City People's was giving away free gold just like Ryan Lochte might have been held-up.  It is just all up to interpretation.  

Extreme Swimming

Does the picture look a little blurry?  Well of course it does, this is when my non-professional photographer Daddy tries to capture me on film when the lights are turned off and I am moving at maximum speed in the bathtub.

I was bored with just being bathed tonight . . . I demanded that things be a bit more extreme.  Daddy was told to turn the lights off.

Michael Phelps may be a record breaking swimmer but can he hit the same speed in the dark.  I doubt it!

Following My Olympic Dream!

I got to experience my first Olympics tonight. Well, I was put to bed very early in the opening ceremonies but the Games have officially started!

I still have some time to get ready to compete in 2032. The greater question is what event will I compete in?

I have had a little experience in swimming especially with the new pool I got. Still, I don't know if I will be the next Michael Phelps.

But when the camera can't even catch me because of my speed . . . you know my sport will be track and field!

Oh Usain Bolt, when I am standing on the podium receiving my Gold Medal twenty years from now I will think of you as inspiration! I will not stop until there is no competition left on the planet!
