I am making a bold prediction here, and it is not based on a mother's love-blindness or overindulgence. I have always been a shrewd evaluator of talent, and this case is no different. I would level with y'all if I believed my child to be just a few cells shy of a garden slug... but no, today I am proclaiming to the world that he is, in fact, a prodigy.
This boy is a bouncing fool! And I expect that in 7 short years, he will be the YOUNGEST world champion bouncer, ever!
I have no fear of those Eastern European or Chinese competitors the result of government athletic training machines churning out chiseled, steely-eyed trampoline experts. Their precise and mechanical presentations will be no match for the sheer TALENT and heart displayed by my butterbean.
He will move people everywhere to tears with his springy grace. He will become the world's sweetheart and eventually end war and worldwide poverty with his bouncy mission (step aside Bono and Geldolf, a new day is dawning).
Given that he is a mere 5 months old, I am, of course, basing this all on three days in the "jumparoo"... but it is clear that the raw talent is there, just waiting for some gentle guidance and a full-length spandex suit (preferably with some arty rendition of the American flag). And just to put to shame any naysayers... I hope to share video evidence of this talent shortly.
Great things will come from this child's bouncing, mark my words.
(Either that, or he is going to scramble his brains.)
Girl, you are a riot. I found you from your comment on Suburban Bliss & you are cracking me up. I will definetly be back!
