Jim and I ran errands right before Christmas (including getting the boys’ Christmas present). When we came home, I wanted to know where everyone was so we could get the present inside. I called out, “Where is everyone?”

I heard Emery’s voice yell from the boys’ room, “We’re levitating!”

To which I replied, “You’re what????”

The response (more clearly this time): “We’re MEDITATING!”

Me: “Oh.” I went into the boys’ room to see this:

I later got the story of why my boys were meditating.

Apparently, they were told that there is electricity that runs through your body. When your body is tense, it keeps your thumb and point finger from closing. But if you relax completely through meditating, the electricity running in your body will pull your thumb and pointer finger together. So the boys were trying to meditate to see if their fingers would close.

So far it hasn’t happened. But they’re still trying.

The whole meditating thing definitely works for me. It keeps them nice and quiet, and is definitely better than levitating.
