This video is delightful, twins finding such joy with elastic bands 🙂 

I recently saw Miranda Hart in her one woman show in Birmingham . She made the observation that children standing with their parents waiting to be served in a long queue to the Post office counter, could spontaneously start to pirouette or jump on the spot…clearly lost in the joy of the moment. they wouldn’t be judged or thought ‘insane’. However, if adults attempted the same manoeuvre people would think them crazed or drunk and silently step away for fear of being thought to be in their company. Miranda continued, If it was within our western culture to gallop to the station if we were aware that we would miss the train if we didn’t hurry, it would be deemed perfectly acceptable. No one would blink an eye at business men in bowler hats and executive ladies in tottering high heels galloping happily to catch the train. Wouldn’t it be fun if we could allow our childlike sense of fun free rain? Leaving the show I spontaneously began to gallop dragging my poor partner along with me ( he is a sweetheart and reluctantly joined in ) as two teenage girls galloped to my side and joined in 🙂 Taking a quick look around and doing a quick count of heads, there were probably 2% of the entire audience following suit. It suddenly struck me of the sadness that people hadn’t registered the ‘teaching’ that Miranda was giving us. Let go of the rules, the programmes of behaviour and allow our inner child freedom of expression and to heck with what others think!! I dare you 🙂
