I was about 6 years old when I figured out how to whistle. Don’t recall why, or how long I’d been trying, just the moment it happened. I was so proud, I went immediately into my parents’ bedroom and whistled loudly at my father’s face. Maybe 6am. On a Sunday. He was not best pleased, my dad. I could tell that right away. I think I whistle today because of what happened next, which I don’t remember. Just a feeling, I guess. It was a while before I whistled again.

Me: What animals do you like?
Wife: Interesting question... I think when I was young I liked certain animals because they were cute and I wanted to cuddle them, kittens, puppies, etc. but as I got older I tended to like animals that are endangered in some way, especially turtles.
Me: I like orcas because they destroy yachts.

Update: I’m apparently not.

I was not built to be a teacher, yet I send letter after letter, trying to teach people that their art is unreachable by many. I was not built to train, and yet so often I am pressed into instructing--that's not a toy, please don't touch without asking, reading audiobooks is still reading. I weary, and most of the time, I let this mean that I am not a teacher or trainer or even example, but sometimes my mouth cannot stay closed, so...
