Q. “What would you do if you could fly?" Mrs. V asks as she glances from the bird to me.

"Is that on the quiz?" I ask, grinning as I type.

"I think we've studied just about everything else." Mrs. V chuckles.

"I'd be scared to let go," I type.

"Afraid you'd fall?" she asks.

"No. Afraid it would feel so good, I'd just fly away.”
