Bull Jumpers!
Okay, we're not doing any bull jumping ourselves, but the kids and I have been learning about the bull jumpers of Ancient Crete. The Minoans who lived there used to train athletic children to jump over bulls as part of their religious festivals. Bull jumpers were very admired, and were given the best food, clothing, jewels, etc. And they usually didn't live past the age of 20.
Anyway, I had just given Alex a picture to color of three kids taking turns jumping over a bull. He began to color, and then said, in a matter-of-fact way, "When I'm grown, you can teach me how to bull jump."
Guess I hadn't stressed enough that this was the ANCIENT people of CRETE, not the modern people of the California. Okay, okay, I know Californians do some weird things, but... :->
