Double-Handed

Double Dutch was my recess nemesis in school. I couldn't skip it and was saddled early on with the label double-handed. The technical meaning of said term is elusive. Practically speaking, it means you suck at turning the ropes. Barred from all facets of the game, I had to sit back and watch until mercifully, a single rope game like Had a Little Sportscar would start up.

These fools for Double Dutch sure seem to be having fun. And why wouldn't they be, getting to skip to a song as exuberant as The New Pornographers' All For Swinging You Around. Lucky ducks. File this song under 'good mood' music.

...298, took it around the coooooooorrrrrrrnnnnner, and SLAMMED on the brakes.

Yeah, that was my scene too. I was lucky to be able to skip at all.

Fun! Thanks.
