Take a minute to study this picture. What does it look like Ella is doing? Maybe it would be a better question to ask what it looks like Ella is wearing.

Either way, the answer has to do with a hula hoop.

That’s right. At our last nutrition class we were on our typical break, a time for the students to go put into practice what we were learning and get some exercise, and Ella picked up the hula hoop, per usual. She impressed everyone with her ability so I decided I should take a picture to commemorate the occasion.

When I looked at the picture it was almost like the hula hoop had disappeared, or that Ella was wearing some fancy kind of flaired-out skirt.

Tricks photos try to play on you.
