Generally I don’t want to hear the answer “no”. Ever. When I ask a question I want the answer to be affirmative. Great responses are “yes” or “absolutely” or “hell yeah”. But I generally don’t want to hear “no”.

Question: Can you get me a glass of wine?

Answer: Absolutely.

Question: Want to cook me dinner?

Answer: Hell yeah.

Question: Want to help me with this project?

Answer: Yes.

Those are just some of the examples where an affirmative answer is the only one I want.

Well…

Yesterday I was in the middle of an amazing workout with my trainer and I asked a question.  I was on pike #14 when it happened. You know pikes? The horrific exercise where your hands are on the ground (like your doing a push up) and shins are on an exercise ball and you roll the ball to your feet while piking your butt up in the air making a “V” shape. It’s a killer core muscle workout. My trainer had me do a few sets of 20. I died.  Before my death, I asked a question. Mostly because my t-shirt was slipping towards my chin everytime I made the “V” shape. Side note: I was wearing t-shirt, yoga pants, sports bra and a standard g-string.

Question to trainer: Are my panties showing?

Hoping to hear an answer I normally don’t want to hear. Such as “NO!” or “not at all” or “you’re fine”.

Without skipping a beat, my trainer said “Yes!”

I fell off the ball. Tucked in my shirt. And pulled up my pants as high as I could on my waist. Then I finished my remaining 6 pikes.

All with a red face.

I hate pikes.
