Frightening Discovery

This wasn't supposed to happen so soon. Last week, while helping Nathan speed through the rest of this year's requirements for his Faith in God book (one day before his birthday), I made a frightening discovery.

The requirement we were working on was learning to lead music. I took him into the living room and played through a song on the piano and then began showing him how to conduct in 3/4 time. I thought it would make things easier if we were facing the same direction so he could just copy my actions. So I had him stand behind me with both of us facing the mirror so that I would be able to see how he was doing, and a horrible scene played out in the mirror: upper arm jiggle! Aaaaacccchhh! Where did that come from?! Isn't that something that should only happen to old ladies? Help! How do I fix that? (Other than "get in shape", because that's just not working.)

I thought about finding a photo online that I could attach to this post so that you would get the full effect, but then I thought it would forever be an image you would associate with me, so I decided against it. Excuse me while I go cry.
