Shimmy and cuddle, play four-square
What bugged me about it was not the fact that she got out of P.E.—who'd want her on their team, anyway? What bugged me about it was that anyone who bothered to look would know that it wasn't asthma or weak ankles or her being “delicate” that was stopping her. It was her hair. She had mountains of it, twisted this way or that, clipped or beaded, braided or swirled. Her ponytails rivaled the ones on carousel horses. And on the days she let it all hang down, she'd sort of shimmy and cuddle inside it like it was a blanket, so that practically all you saw of her face was her nose.
Good luck playing four-square with a blanket over your head.
It's quite difficult to understand.
1, shimmy and cuddle is not physical thing but a motion- shimmy means shaking and cuddle means hugging?
2, so that practically all you saw of her face was her nose - I can't imagine what it is like.
3, playing four-square with a blanket over your head - I am totally lost of its meaning.
