“Let’s see if we can get them to do warm-ups with the other kids,” Blythe whispered.
The kids made a circle to stretch out and do some exercises. Blythe counted and demonstrated in the middle and I went around correcting them. When I came to Holden, he was spinning in a circle on his bottom instead of doing anything remotely resembling sit-ups. I caught the back of his gi collar as he spun.
“Stay still,” I said firmly. “Put your feet on the ground and try to sit up without using your hands.” He looked at me a little warily, then started making an effort. A pretty lame effort, but at least he was going through the motions of doing what I told him.
“Stop! I said stop it!” the fervent whisper came from Annalisa.
