Lalena Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 At synchro (the sport that I coach) there are about 4-5 sneezy girls who you are sure to get AT LEAST 3-5 sneezes every practice from each of them. Tonight one of the girls not in this group had a sneezing fit that really surprised me!All the girls were lined up on the wall awaiting their workout. As I was telling them their workout I was stopped by a HUP-SHOOO! A couple of my swimmers blessed this girl, as did I, and I continued reading my workout. About 5 seconds later another HUP-SHOOOO! Another round of blessings and I continued to read. Surely this girl was finished. She hardly ever sneezes anyway, and to sneeze twice was almost unheard of!I continued reading until another, HUP-SHOOO, stopped me. Her sneezes are not of my favorite kind, a little deep for my liking on a girl, but as she continued to sneeze it became more and more difficult to concentrate. I tried to continue reading the workout, even though I was quite uncomfortable, when about 5 seconds later and other HUP-SHOOOO exploded from this swimmer. At this point many of her fellow swimmers were laughing and commenting. She continued to sneeze about every 5 seconds until she had sneezed anywhere from 10-15 times.When she was finished she said, "Lalena (except she used my real name of course) I don't think I can do this workout."Thinking she was going to say that she was coming down with something and it hurt her head to go under the water (VERY possible, by the way) I said, "Oh yea, why not?""Because! Can't you see I'm allergic to it!" Everyone started laughing, and I'm sure I started blushing, but all I could say was, "Ok, that's enough! On the top everyone ... Ready ... GO!"Oh goodness ... What a practice! Link to comment
Mr Sneezy Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 You mean Lalena's not your real name?? *looks dismayed*Anyhoo, you can get yourself some good obs, as it goes, but how is the future going to pan out?What are you going to do when you have to sneeze in front of your students? Any ideas? Link to comment

Any ideas? What do you mean is the future going to pan out? I hope so ...Actually, I already have sneezed in front of my students! Can you believe it? Chalk dust ... It was a double and then more to follow after I had left the classroom. The students blessed me and I handled it well ... I think? I'm sure I was beat red though ...Sneezing in front of my swimmers usually isn't a problem. I'm really close with them because I've coached them for 3 years. I'll usually sneeze at least once every practice because the chlorine tickles my nose. Link to comment
count tiszula Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I can't think what's happened to Sternuto. Oh well......Six, or indeed seven sneezy girls weARing swimming stuff and standing around sneezing their heads off; sounds like heaven.And Chlorine tickles your nose [as does chalk dust; wasn't there a song called tht?]. And their noses; and presumably none of you carries a hankie in her gear, so it's just one big, wet ,unencumbered sneeze after another!Anyway, I think you handled all three situations brilliantly. Let's hope that all your various pupils enjoy your sneezes as much as you do theirs. Link to comment
