For the past several months, I have spasmodically been teaching Adelynn ballet. Rosie is also quite the accomplished gymnast- not a day goes by when she doesn't turn ten cartwheels out of extreme hyperness. Yesterday she was twirling around the living room, jumping jetes across the carpet. I noticed that she was flexing her foot as she jumped. In both ballet and gymnastics, a pointed foot is important.
"Adelynn," I said, "What does your foot have to do when it is in the air?"
Adelynn, with perfect logic and sincerity, answered, "Land."
