Brain vs. Body

This morning during practice:

Brain: Okay, time to work on those flip jumps!
Body: Cool. I'm ready! Let's do this!
Brain: Well, before we can begin, let's think of all the ways we can get hurt while doing this.
Body: Really? No, that's stupid. I got this.
Brain: Did you know that 90% of figure skating accidents happen while attempting flip jumps?
Body: I'm pretty sure that's fake news. Shut up and let me jump.
Brain: What kind of coffee do you think we should get from Starbucks after practice? They have red cups now and I hear their toasted white mocha tastes like a Christmas cookie.
Body: Oh.My.God...SHUT UP!

Five minutes later, finally working on those flip jumps: 

Brain: Are you sure your foot is supposed to pick in right there? Shouldn't it be...somewhere else?
Body: Look, I've done this before. I know what I'm doing. Trust me.
Brain: I mean, okay. But remember the last time I trusted you and you broke like two of our bones?
Body: That was a while ago. We're smarter now. Get ready...

Sets up for jump, does mohawk, picks in...

Brain: WAAAAAIT!!!!!!
Body: *aborts jump* What now?
Brain: Hi :)
