Podiatrist. I remember I had nerve damage in my foot and I saw a podiatrist and he gave me a shot and it's been better since!
Centipede. I remember the first time I saw a centipede, it had all those legs and seemed to walk with such amazing coordination!
Good work!
I read a story once in which a 4-legged creature asked a centipede how on earth he managed to coordinate the movement of all those legs. The centipede started to think about it, and then started wondering how indeed he could walk so smoothly.
As he thought more about it, and tried to make sure that each step was done in sequence and with the proper timing, he lost all sense of coordination.
Lesson. Don't think too much about natural acts. Just be and just do.
Thank you! And your story reminds me of the bumble bee. This bee doesn't know he's so big and with those tiny wings, how can he fly? Don't tell the bee he's too big and he'll also wonder why. And maybe it will mess him up? My mom used to tell me a story about a bumble bee....it reminds me.
I also remember Romper Room....the Do Be and the Don't Be. Meaning Do be a Kind Person, Don't be a mean one. That kind of Golden Rule stuff we learn in kindergarden.

Hmmm, this one seems to be missing the intro phrase "MY VOCAB PRACTICE." Maybe I'll be lenient this time, but next time this Steemer violates my rules, he can expect wrath and rage. And maybe a 0.000% reduction in upvtote.
If we were perfect all of the time, that would not give you a chance to sharpen your skills. So, as you see, I am helping. haha! - I'm having some issue with fixing it or I would.
No problem. Just keep doing your best with these Voc Prac exercises, and keep me entertained with your witty sample sentences.
