In Which Lower Appendages Are Reached For and The Hair Mystery is Solved

I CAN TOUCH MY TOES.

Can you not hear what I say? Not to worry my friend, for I shall say it again.

I CAN TOUCH MY TOOOOEEESSS!
Cries of joy and happiness and glee!

Yes, I know it might not be much of a great deal to all you toe-touchers out there, oh yes; I have seen how all of you possess the ability to easily and smugly simply reach over with nary an effort to touch your lowest appendage.

Well, I have never been able to do that before.

But after recently doing The Six Stations at school, and barely passing the Sit and Reach, I reached home and contemplated the question: Why am I the only person not able to touch my toes?

I can touch it only if I do it once at a time, as in, stretching out my right leg with my other leg folded and then touching my toes and vice versa. But both at the same time? It had been an impossibility all this while.

Until recently.

I told myself, If you can do it one at a time, then why not both!?
So I willed my self forwards and stretched out my fingers. They went slowly onwards, slowly, slowly...until, miraculously enough, they reached the toes.

So for this whole weekend, my family has been treated to the sight of me cheerfully doing the sit and reach and touching my toes while standing up. The only downfall is that now my ribs hurt (is that a normal thing?). If I touch it there, it gives the kind of pain similar to when you touch a bruise. But it stops hurting so much if I don't reach for my toes all that often.

Edit: Today, my Bio Teacher was talking about internal bleeding and he just so happened to use the Sit and Reach as an example. He said you can stretch too far forwards and your capillaries might burst. O___O
Of course, I think he was joking but... What if that is what has happened to me?? I may look fine on the outside but right at this very moment my internal organs might be scrambled and bleeding due to my inflexible body recently having found the secret to contort and me overdoing it. AAAAAAAAH.

But moving on from the topic of toes and internal bleeding... I had Econs IR today and Mdm Goh could not contain it any longer and finally exclaimed about the state of the floor area around the teacher's table.
What is wrong with it?
I'll tell you.

It is full of hair.
It is scattered with long hair and it has accumulated over the years because no one bothers or is too disgusted to sweep it up.

So she went, "Aiyoooooooh, look at the state of your class! Hair everywhere! Where did all this hair come from? Pontianak come into your class at night is it?"

And we were all doing the Econs worksheet when she said that, so everyone was quite serious, which didn't help one bit since I just wanted to burst out laughing.

Seriously, can you imagine it?

In the dead of night, the Pontianaks float in through the windows of the 4/1 classroom in TKGS and gather there, the long wind blowing through their hair. Then, one of them reaches for the class computer, turns it on and they start...
ROCKING OUT.
They partied and head-banged like no one has ever partied and head-banged.
When sunlight starts to creep in through the shutters, they simply drift away again...
Not realising that they have left incriminating evidence behind in the form of shed hair.

Mdm Goh has uncovered the secret of all the long hair gathered there without even quite realising it.
