Cartwheel: turns out, yes. I was a little hesitant to try, but it was fine.
Splits: close, but no cigar. My dance teacher keeps pushing that one though.
Toe touches: absolutely. I've always been flexible.
Handsprings: fuggedaboudit!
About Six-Word Questions
SMITH Magazine brings you an entirely new kind of six-word experience: Six-Word Questions. This is the place to pose a question to the SMITH community from, "What are your favorite Six-Word quotations" to challenging members to pen Six-Word Obituaries to the recently departed to Six-Word jokes and any other Six-Word question you can dream up. You can even request that the responses be in six words. Everyone has a question—what's yours?

I'm so accident prone that I won't try. These hands are my livelihood.Dragonflower says,
Never could. Had trouble with somersaults, even. Always went crooked. Best I could do, and still can, is touch my toes. I'm 60 and one month.DynamicDbytheC says,
Let me go outside and try. I will report back. I can still do the splits.DynamicDbytheC says,
