THE ICE RINK — One winter sport I have thought would be fun to try every time the Winter Olympics roll around is curling.
It's one where I might be least likely to seriously injure myself — right?
Although it's a few years old, this video makes me laugh because these kids understand the sport almost as well as I do.
In a Kid History-style video, child "experts" explain the rules of the game while some Canadian curlers act out exactly what they describe.
One girl said they yell, "Harry, hard!" to tell Harry to sweep harder. A Google search shows they are actually saying, "Hurry hard," but the girl got the meaning almost spot on.
One kid says, "You can make it go wherever you want if you sweep it right" and another shouts out all of the places it can go, leading the adults to act out the rules to have fun sweeping the stone through doors and outside to "hit the rock from the other side."
When is the game over, you ask? Based on the kids' answers, it is when there is "no more room for rocks," which looks like over 50 of them in the target area. And, as is the case in many children's games, all of those "rocks" get to be cleaned up by the losing team.
Now that I understand everything, I think I'm ready to see if they'll let me go curling at the Utah Olympic Oval.
Have You Seen This? Hawaii's alternative transportation
It really doesn't matter where you are in Hawaii, there's always a way to surf something — even if it's a flooded side street on the east side of the island of Oahu.
