Best teacher in the whole world
(while putting away the remainder of the Halloween stuff in our garage)
RJ: (playing with two giant tarantulas used during Halloween) This is Bromley, and this is Snyder. They’ll be showing us around today.
Dad: I’m putting some music on.
RJ: The scary Halloween music? That’s a good idea.
Dad: No, something else today… What do you think?
RJ: (starts grooving) Hey… This is… funky… The good kind of funky.
Dad: Yeah, it’s pretty good.
RJ: (suddenly stops dancing around) It’s got funky guitars!!!!!
(launches into a massive air guitar solo ending with “rock-n-roll hands”)Dad: (amazed) RJ… What was that!?
RJ: Guitars!
Dad: And where did you learn that from?
RJ: Mum showed me. You have to do it for the guitar songs.

We'll be going back to the zoo again sometime.
