New Olympic Sport: Couch Diving

Starting this week, as the media hub-bub regarding the fact that we're now exactly one year away from the Beijing Olympics went into full gear -- (can it possibly be a coincidence???) -- the boys have apparently put themselves into a serious training regiment for the 2008 Summer Games. Couch Diving. A new olympic sport??? They do this over, and over, and over, and over, and over. It is exhausting just watching it. But like any serious athlete, these guys are focused on precision and seem to fully embrace the 'no-pain-no-gain' approach to their sport. They're both very serious couch divers. Almost always the "couch dive" ends with a dramatic "forward roll" and then they run full tilt to climb up again.

Has to be a boy thing... Our 2 year old loves to dive on the couch too - and give me palpitations in the process.

It's not a boy thing, me and my sisters did this when we were little! Warning- I ended up chipping a tooth!! Our mom put us in tumbling to get rid of all that energy.
