Of parents and flying children

I'm sorry moms, but we can't help it. It is innate, it comes from within, it is like an internal boil, a rush of adrenaline, a sudden and spontaneous sharpening of our senses to make them available to our body, our strength and dexterity and our ability to calculate distances: we love to make our children fly And, regretfully, we will continue to do so.

For us, as you can see in the image, it is something of the simplest. We can and we know we can, that's why we do it. For children it is something incredible, they laugh and enjoy a lot, so much so that they end up exhausting us because once we have to do it one hundred. The problem is for you, that, as in the picture, you have a sense of danger so developed that the mere fact of taking our babies with a juggling hand already makes you shout that: “It is well! Take it well, you're going to fall!“.

Juggling and flying children

And we are left face of "I do not understand anything" when you rip them from our arms because he hears, the boy was laughing and I was having a great time looking for balance by grabbing his ass with one hand and singing that of "Tata tarararara circus, tata tarararara afro, afro circus, afro circus, ... ”

I remember a few years ago, one day on the beach, in the water, in those areas where the water reaches your ankles, that I was flying Jon for a while. He laughed, I enjoyed himself, and a couple walking along the shore, she pregnant, stopped to look at us smiling, probably thinking about the good times they would soon live. Now I remember it and I see clearly that the mother also smiled, so if something was clear, that would be her first baby. Having already had another would not have smiled.

And I say that I would not have smiled because a few days ago I saw a father take his daughter and then throw it into the air repeatedly, just as I do and surely all the parents in the world (the higher the better) and immediately I looked away at the mother, my look that I soon took away because I felt a cold sweat that ran down my spine.

Children need it

As I have already mentioned, dear moms, it is something innate. Get out of us. It is not something premeditated or something we do because “I have heard that it is good for children to throw them in the air to see if they touch a cloud”, it is something we need to do, it is our way of hugging, choking and making our children see that we want. We do it like this. Kisses and caresses we take, of course, but we need those wiggles, those achuchones, to tickle them, to make them rage a little, to make them fly ...

And as all parents do without anyone teaching us to do it (I think), it is very likely to be a necessary behavior for children (or that at some point in history it was). I do not talk about throwing a baby on the flight because it is very dangerous, with babies worth the tickle and pedreretas, I talk about older children, who laugh and ask you.

Once I read that babies were doing very well for parents to bathe them too, for them to change their diapers, etc., because we have another way of doing things, perhaps less delicate, something more abrupt, because our voice is more serious. . As they said, they learn that there are different ways of doing things, so they feel differently and that way they know how Dad is related to them.

I would say that this to make them fly, this to be so donkeys with the babies ("do not wiggle it so much, that you just woke up", you tell us) and this to tear you off a "that you are going to fall!" Must be a technique for our babies and children to see the world from another perspective, that they see that there is a more physical world, that they learn to value the three-dimensionality of space, that they become stronger, more skilled, more capable ... Something like preparing them for the most bitch life, to hunt and defend themselves and for all those actions that need strength or our body.

I don't know, maybe I'm wrong. In any case, I don't care much either, it comes from within, it leaves me, my body asks me to, so I will continue doing it: My children, fly away!
