Have you ever pumped air into the tires of a car or bicycle? OK, well now imagine that you are the tire, and instead of air, excitement is being pumped into you. When you’re so full of excitement and anticipation you feel like you might burst, you’re pumped.

A lot of people would be pretty pumped if their parents were rich and famous. Tommy Lee is a rock star known for his wild lifestyle. He has a teenage son with his ex-wife, Pamela Anderson. For his son’s birthday, Tommy Lee threw him a huge party. The party was so loud and wild that the police had to come three times to try to get it under control. Some kids would be worried about that, but Tommy Lee’s son must take after his rocker father, because instead of being worried, he was pumped!

When you’re really, really pumped, you might do a fist pump. That’s when you shake your fist in the air to show that you’re excited. And if you’re not feeling pumped, someone might try to pump you up, or make you more excited.

When was the last time you felt pumped? What are you not pumped about right now?
