The Scarcrow Learns To Roller Blade

Ever watch The Wizard of Oz? Remember the scene where we meet the scarecrow and he is dancing his little number while arms and legs are flailing around in the wind. He is so light and fluffy that his limbs seem to have lives of their own, moving at odd angles and rhythms with no cohesiveness. Have the picture in your head? That is what my son just looked like out in the big cement circle trying to learn to roller blade. His arms and legs flailing around. Legs running in place a hundred miles an hour going NO WHERE yet amazingly he didn't fall down. He defied Einsteins theory's. He should have been on the ground repeatedly. Amazingly, mid air twists and one legged spins (like a drunken ice champion) kept him upright. It must be the fact that he barely weighs fifty pounds. What he was doing was not humanly possible. It was not graceful. It was not even very good but it was AMAZING. "Good Job Boo! It's your first time, keep at it. " I have to go inside now for a cold compress because I feel faint and I think I will need to find our insurance card very soon.
