“Are you showing off, Mom?”
“Am I what?” I had just done a jerky off-balance twist move to check out the back of my ankle after I felt something jab me. “No, no, I am not showing off. I think I just felt a mosquito bite me. I was just looking. That’s all.”
“Oh. I thought you were showing off to attract a mate.”

Upon further questioning, it turns out that my movements were evocative of a bird of paradise’s mating ritual. Quite a compliment, really.
I am trying as per usual, not to laugh too hard at the RW house antics, but ummm, I’m not very successful
We’ve got to get skype set up, this stuff is priceless!
See, now I would have thought you were the stotting like a springbok but I didn’t see the move so I’m sure he’s right.
Could we see a re-enactment via video? Please.
