Happy 50th Birthday Hula Hoop Patent
U.S. Patent Number 3,079,728)!
Today marks 50 years since the Hula Hoop was patented!
For this reason, I would like to celebrate by sharing my love for the hula hoop.
I have been hula hooping adamantly for over two years. If you are reading this wondering if I was one of those hula hoop prodigies, I am going to splurge my confessions here.
In the beginning, I was the type of girl that would not be caught dead in a hula hoop contest. The thought of being put on the spot, or in the circle if you so please, was horrifying to me.
Then on one latin immersion weekend, a weekend spent speaking only in latin with college classmates (If you don't believe that my college did this; see video below), I bonded with the Hula Hoop!
Now if you are wondering how Latin immersion and Hula Hooping have anything in common, let me explain myself:
While hooping, a great realization dawned upon me; namely, no one really tries to communicate with someone that is swinging a large plastic pipe around their hips.
Waa Laa, my love for the hula hoop was born out of my inability to respond in Latin. Personally, I loved listening to others talk in Latin, but responding was a bigger challenge.
Today, I am proud to say that: I am 7 months pregnant and still hooping!
In the following weeks I am going to adress the good, the bad, and the ugly about hooping throughout my last months pregnant and beyond.
