J’s Magic Legs

Recent conversation between J-Man and I while he was doing his writing homework:

J: (no words .. just lots of twitching and jumping and rolling around)

Me:  Sit still and finish your homework

J:  Okay

J:  (more rolling and twitching)

Me:   Please just do this and get it finished.  You are taking forever and I understand that practicing your cursive may not be fun, jumping up and down isn’t going to make it go any faster.

J:  It’s not that mom.

Me:  What is it then?

J:  My legs are all tingly.

Me:  What?  Like they fell asleep?

J:  No.  They  just get all tingly whenever I make a bad letter.

Me:  Your legs tingle when you write a letter that isn’t neat?

J:  Yep.  Whenever I do a bad one they tingle and I have to jump up.

Me:  Wow.  Those are some magic legs you have there.

J:  Thanks.
