Dancing Math

A formula to determine how sore you're going to be after a night of dancing:

1. From your current age, find the difference between that age and fifteen, fifteen being the age of the person who has the inherent flexibility to attempt the dance moves you were making last night.

2. To your current age, add the difference between the current age and fifteen.

3. That is how old you feel this morning.

I can walk. But you better not ask more from me than that right about now.

I would be fifteen. LOL My birthday is next month so that formula doesn't really apply to me, I guess. I can go out dancing all night long and the only soreness is my ego. I'm an AWFUL dancer. Oh, and if my friends drag me out, my feet'll hurt a little. But definitely not enough to make that formula really apply....

I'd be 23! I'm still young. :D Blessings and whatever you were doing (or whatever kind of dance moves), be a little more careful next time!!!

Blessings.

I would be 39. I don't think I should be worried....YET. LOL I'm getting there, though. And, I haven't danced in a long, long time. :-( I better get out there before I get too dancing age old for it. LOL
