A Matter of Opinion
This kid can do some crazy things with his face, a ruler and some turtles!
I can make the strangest noises when I twist and twirl my tongue, then stick it through my two front teeth and whistle with my lung.
I can make the weirdest faces when I wrinkle up my nose, then twist my lips like pretzels and tie my ears in bows.
I can make the coolest music tapping turtles with a ruler. I think I’m real creative. My mom thinks I’m peculiar.
