When the babies were very little, my SIL would play a game of tiny calisthenics with them, lifting up their arms and putting them down, two slow movements followed by two quick ones. It would go "uuuppp dooowwn, uuuppp dooowwn, up down, up down." The little ones would crack up with those adorable peals of baby giggles. Little did I know she was describing the act of parenting. One day is up and the next down and you can’t help but feel there’s a little laughing going on, but not out loud enough to cause further annoyance. Maybe this 17 year old has a bit of good judgment and self control lodged between those ears. I know he does and the downs will become less frequent. Hopefully.
Here’s another up, his team’s latest entry into a five minute film festival. This one made the cut from 200 to 30 and was nominated for best acting ensemble. He wrote the story and the score. Typical teen angst at it’s best, complete with real life foreshadowing – look for his line "….for the party you’ll secretly have while we’re gone." Here’s "Typical" – if it doesn’t work, here’s the link.
