Floorboard Sled

Hop... flop! I shimmied right off the rug onto bare hallway wood. Smooth. Dangerously slick. I tucked my fringe tight underneath, rocked back on my rear, and—SHOVE! Siiiiiip! My wrap turned straight into a sled. I went skidding across the glossy floorboards like a launched cannonball! Zoom, spin, skid! Right at the turn, WHUMP. My bottom teeth clipped the rubber nose of a spring doorstop. Boooing! It wobbled wildly. I bit down on my tongue to catch my balance and gave a triumphant, wide-jawed gasp. Sliding beats crawling any day!
