Oh oh! While I'm sharing John stories. You must hear this one. The kids go to a country school. It's got 2 rooms. K-3rd & 4th-6th. When he was in 1st grade he was really into like birds and stuff. And he had this daydreaming/imagination "issue" that he still hasn't quite grown out of. Anyway, he was sitting there staring into space. (He got his sister's ability to "use time wisely".) Suddenly he lets out a loud eagle call. I really wish I was closer to his age at that time. I would have given my left big toe to get to witness something like that.
But alas, I did not. However, this allows me to add large eagle wing-like arm movements to the vision of him doing this in my mind. And that makes it even funnier. That's how I tell it to his friends. Then he's all I did NOT pretend to fly! And then I'm all Well how am I supposed to know, I wasn't there. I just assumed that when one blurts out eagle noises in the middle of a spelling test that it would also involve eagle-type body language.
