The "twitch" enjoyed the youth orchestra practice. It's got a bit of rhythm.
It seems to have a life of its own. I just hope it's NOT a life of its own. Remember the movie Alien?
I've bumped up the potassium (banannas), zinc and magnesium (nuts, spinach, kale).
The technical term for muscle twitch is "fasciculation". Now there's a good spelling bee word!
Speaking of, today is our spelling bee and I'm the third-year parent organizer. Although participation is optional and we try to keep it fun and low-pressure, I don't think I've seen a situation where the kids are more keyed up. At this age of "everyone gets a trophy" and "no keeping score," I'm glad the kids have an opportunity to learn how to manage their nerves and deal with some real but low-stakes competition. The grade level winners get a special field trip downtown to the art store, book store, and frozen yogurt place, so I guess the stakes are not so low!!
Have a great Friday, folks!
You have an alien in your belly?? I will say, that is cool!!! ;-P
ReplyDeleteI get those all the time. Usually they are either in an eyelid, cheek, or my bad shoulder. They are so annoying but then I never thought to sooth them with music.
ReplyDeleteI was 1985. I was 12 years old. It was me and one other kid, the two last peoples in the spelling bee. We had knocked out all other competitors. I can't remember what the word is that make me lose, but doggone-it, I still got a trophy for 2nd place. It made me very happy.
ReplyDelete"IT" was 1985. That typo in previous comment just totally ruined my whole story. O_O
ReplyDeleteLOL! Hey, spelling bee runner-up is not too shabby!! Good you are not haunted by whatever word you missed!
