Last night my six year old was reading Magic Tree House in his bed, and he asked me what “gangly boy” means. I told him it means a boy with long arms and legs. He looked at his short arms and legs and asked if he was gangly. I said no, and he asked for an example. So I presented Yuzu.
“Oh I know him”, he said.
“And that helps him skate beautifully”, I added.
“Like this?” my boy asked. Then he stood up in the bed, spreading his arms and legs, mimicking the turns and footsteps, even jumps, like he was skating. He watched Yuzu’s R & J 2.0 many times with me from iPad.
“I feel I am gangly like Yuzuru Hanyu”, he said.
I laughed. And suddenly I realized how much I miss Yuzu.
Wish him well, from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you for sharing this - very sweet!
: And this is completely irrelevant, but Magic Tree House is wonderful, and I'm so glad the series is still popular among children today
