Jumping Box Accessories Case

Box

Apparently this is only a Japanese thing, but in gym class we used to always have to jump over these "tobibako" or jumping boxes. They usually have six stackable layers, and the super athletic kids would jump over them effortlessly, while the less agile would end up hitting their pelvic bone real hard against the rubber top, or plopping down on the top like they're straddling a horse. (Have you ever seen those Japanese TV shows where they keep stacking these until they're over 2 meters high, and they get Olympic athletes to see who can keep going longer?) Anyway, this definitely  brings back fun (and sometimes painful) memories.

Anyway, somebody decided it would be a cute idea to make it into a little accessory holder box. To prevent messy desks and lost keys. You can get one here.

Nope, we did it too. Aaah, the benefits of a public school education. I could feel my character building with every bound.

Wow...I am so grateful I never had to do that in physical education at school. I might have developed an even larger inferiority complex than I have now. Or intense trauma.

Brings back so much memories. The inside was popular place for hide and seek.
