I walked to the grocery store today to get more cups for our temporary kitchen situation. Between my house and the store, there's a school, and a couple of kids and their mother/big sister/babysitter were on the swings.
One of the kids, a boy of about 7 or 8, was talking to the woman, and he was saying something about doing a backflip off the swing. I was thinking, "Yeah, yeah, put your money where your mouth is."
So the kid is swinging and he's picking up good speed, and when he got to the top of the arc, he let go of the chains, kicked his feet up over his head, and did a backflip backwards out of the swing. He didn't stick the landing and ended up on his knees, but I was nonetheless quite impressed.
