Last night, 12 year old son says he has a trick he wants to show me.

He lays down on the floor, arms at his sides.

11 year old son (who knows everything worth knowing) asks, "What's he doing?"

Mom, surprisingly informed, replies, "He's planking. A lot of people do it while balancing on things. It's more impressive that way."

12 year old quickly goes for kitchen step-stool (library stool - small round stool on rollers - maybe 20"-24" in diameter). I can't grab my camera fast enough.

11 year old couldn't quite get it. His body was kinda sagging.

12 year old got pretty close. He just didn't get his head up and in line with the rest of his body.

Dad was in perfect form. And he's never even heard of it before.

Can't wait until they hear about owling.
