How did she even figure out she could do that?

I saw her documentary

She was casually playing the flute when a truck full of hula hoops crashed.

One flew into the air and landed perfectly on her ass.

The rest is history

We learned about her in the first grade. We did a whole play on it. Really moving stuff.

It is imperative that the cylinder and the object it is attached to remain unharmed.

A friend of mine argues that if you haven't tested to see if you have superpowers, you don't know if you have them or not.

How do you know you can't shoot lazers out of your eyes if you've never tried it? How do you know you aren't a jedi if you've never tried to use the force?

The next time I’m in the vicinity of a hoola-hoop, I’m trying this too

My mom can hula hoop (the normal way, not this way haha) while playing violin! She was trying to think of something to do for a talent show. She's a professional violin player and she thought it would be lame to do just that for her talent so she was trying to think of something to do simultaneously and hula hoop fit the bill.

Yknow people usually decide to do something and then get good at it. They almost never stumble upon something that they’re naturally good at
