If I was able to swap with a person for one day it would have to be a New Zealand Olympic track cyclist. I would swap with them because I have always wanted to go to the Olympics for track cycling and it would just be amazing to experience it without having to do it full time. So I could find out whether or not I truly like it. It would also be amazing because then I could bike as fast as they can. So I think that a day as a track cyclist would be a dream come true.

Lots of people dream of being famous one day for many different things, but if you found out what being famous is really like, would you still want to be famous? Would you find all the paparazzi really annoying? Would you like everyone wanting to know you or have your signature wherever you went because you would be recognised? I would love to swap places with a famous actress like Emma Watson and then I'd see if I still want to be an actress dealing with all the fame. Who would you like to swap places with for one day?

If I could change places with someone for a day I would choose Phoebe or Charlotte. I could hang out with Eliza all day and all night. It would also be an amazing experience to see what it’s like to have a sister instead of a brother. It would be interesting to see how different houses work as in what they do after school and what they do in the weekends. I’ve always wondered what it’s like to have a sister. Do sisters play with you when you ask and do you have fun together ? b ecause that would be great .

Who would you like to change places with for a day? I would change places with spider man here’s why. I would like to change places with spider man because first he’s my favourite superhero. Second, I think spiders are really cool and sometimes scary, especially when they jump on you unwittingly. Thirdly is because I would like to fight bad guys like Doc Ock, Carnage and the lizard looking guy. Fourth is it would definitely be fun swinging around New York. Last reason is because I get to live in NEW YORK for a day. Who doesn’t want that?

I feel that one day is too little to make an influence, so it would just be an experience. I would choose to experience the life of those living in poverty because it would put things into perspective. I feel that it may be a great and significant experience to know what it's like; A lso those in poverty would be able to experience what it's like to live with no worries or at least for a day. I also may change places with those with disabilities, such as the blind so that they can know how beautiful the world is.

  If I was able to change places with anyone in the world I would change places with Lebron James because he is a NBA player and I think it would be fun changing places with him. And also I think he does a lot of fun things and I always wanted to be in an NBA game. Another reason why I would change places with him is having a massive mansion and doing lots of fun activities and meeting a lot of NBA players and get to play with all of the NBA players and get to practise with them.

Do I want to be my dog? Of course I do. If I was my dog I would do so many things. I would love to go exploring around my house, get all the crumbs at tea time and breakfast and sometimes even at lunch and last but not least stretch my whole body out over the bed so I can take up all the room. These are the top three things I would want to do if I was my dog. It would be the time of my life.

Archie - Lockdown Challenge

If I could change to be anyone in the world I would change to be Lionel Messi. I would change to him because I would be the best football player in the world. I would have Neymar Jr and Kylian Mbappe as teammates and I would make around $71,000 per day. I would give back to my normal self so when I change back in a day I have loads of money. I would also want to be him because I could play a game of football with 47,000 fantastic fans  watching me score a top bins goal.

It would be awesome to swap places with my dog. Can you imagine having four legs! Our dog is the Queen of the house , she goes for a walk everyday, and gets so much attention.  If I was her I would get the door opened for me when I need to go outside , I would finally be able to understand what dogs are saying. Not only that, I would be able to sleep in the sun all day and not have to worry about school and other commitments. Wouldn’t it be cool if I could actually swap places with her!

Maxton - Lockdown Challenge

Have you ever thought about being able to change from yourself and be anyone else you want for a day . Well I have. I have thought about all the different ppl i could be but my brain just kept coming back to Lewis Tavendale and Toby Brook. I don't know why I would want to be these so bad but I think it would be because of their sporting ability in every sport and their great looks. They are very fortunate with the fitness and agilit y y ou name a spor t t hey can do it with an insane amount of skill.

Ruby - Lockdown Challenge

  If I could be anyone for a day I would probably want to be a famous youtuber. I would choose this so that I could see what it is like to be one and live like one. I would go into town and experience everyone coming up to me and asking for pictures and I would get asked questions from the paparazzi. I would also go and hang out with other youtubers because I would want to see how they act when the camera is off. I wonder what they would have done if they were me for the day.

Tom - Lockdown Challenge

I am the richest man in the world , I thought to myself. Today is the day that I will switch places with Elon Musk. This is perfect. First I will buy myself a farm with big tractors and a big motorbike track right at my back door. Then I will get myself a motorbike and throw a massive party (if we get out of lockdown). After that I will donate a  bit of money to charity so people get to have a life like mine. JUST THEN I WAKE UP SWEATING ALL OVER AND OF COURSE IT WAS A DREAM!!!

Alex - Lockdown Challenge

Ok so yeah I have had a rough day and I just want to be alone or somebody els e y ou know like I wish that I would stop living my crap life and live someone else's. But there is a problem. I H ave the right tools to switch lives but I need to find the right person. I want to have a great life and be rich. But who would be just right for that . Oh I know Ronaldo , he is rich and we both are really good at soccer. I guess he is the one for me. Cristiano r onaldo.

George - Lockdown Challenge

  Mike Mitchell (A farmer on yt from c anada) The reason that I would swap places with Mike is because he has a giant 40,000 acre farm with lots of my favourite M achinery. He is also very funny but he always takes things seriously when it comes to farming. He also gets to demo new unreleased machinery like a couple weeks ago he demoed the new Fendt 1167 which is one of the biggest tractors in the world. He has 155k subs on Youtube and is a big influence on me and lots more people around the world with farming.

I’d like to be a B ird , I t would make me able to fly so high and I would have an amazing view of the whole world. But what type of bird would I be? I think I would be a hummingbird. Hummingbirds can flap their wings about 10 to 15 times a second! And did you know that the fastest hummingbird in the world can travel 98 kilometres an hour? That’s just amazing! Anyways, considering all the advantages, I would change places with a hummingbird. I could travel anywhere because of my amazing speed. and I can fly super high.

Lockdown Challenge - Maddy

  Who would you like to change places with for a day? If I had to change places with someone for a day I would swap with Kylie Jenner. I would love to be Kylie Jenner for a day so I could live a billionaire's life while still being young. I would be able to talk to all of the kardashians as well, which is an even bigger bonus! She also has a cute little baby Stormi which would be cool to have for the day. Living in a huge house would not be such a bad thing either! This is why I would enjoy living Kylie Jenner's life for a day!

Macarena - Lockdown Challenge

  Who would you like to change places with? Well that is a hard question , I would like to swap places with Queen Elizabeth , I would like to do that because I would get to see what such an important leading role felt like; doing all that hard work and most of all getting to tell people what to do.  It would also be so fun to be in another country because since at the time we can’t  travel it would be fun to be there and get to do so many cool things. Well,  that is what I would do.

  At the end of my road there's a terrifying old haunted house. At the front door there is a sign that says “Enter at your own ris k, i f you go in you may not come out” so not many people enter. There are stories that when you walk past at night and the moon is shining down on the house you see shadows of figures walking around inside the house. My friends and I decided that we wanted to go into the house to explore, but when we got to the front door we read the sign and ran away.

DId you all know that if you buy my super hair cream you will save 100 turtles from eating other hair product bottle s n ow that's TERRIFYING.

  I think planes are absolutely TERRIFYING because at any point the plane could have a malfunction and crash, or even unexpectedly stop working and you're falling thousands of feet down. I don’t like planes because they can make everyone's mood change from happy to nervous in one second if someone mentions something is wrong. Also, planes have a way of distracting you by giving you an option to watch movies to not think about what could happen. But not me, I don’t get fooled easily. So the next time you’re on a plane, always be prepared for what could happen.

  Why should you never cross an IceWings path? IceWings are extremely dangerous and terrifying . They’ll send a shiver down your spine and a shiver all over your body. They have a deadly frost breath that will kill you in an instant and jaggard razor sharp claws. IceWings have sharper eyesight than any other dragon so even if you hide they’ll probably find you. The best way to defend yourself from IceWings is to not go into their territory. So building a village in the Ice Kingdom is not a good idea unless you have a way to scare away IceWings.

  While walking down the old shingle road I came across an old man standing next to a rusty mailbox. He had a brown coat on and a serious face. I continued walking and out of the bloom he whispered to me. “Hey you, come over here”. He pulled me over, It was terrifying.  In his hands he was holding a gold shell, politely I asked what it was. For a second he looked unsure and then he said it was magical. He tried to persuade me into making a wish, and then it would magically appear out of the mailbox!

  Anything can be TERRIFYING. It just depends on the way you happen to view something. Sometimes things can be more terrifying depending on what you are scared of. Like if you were scared of the dark the experience could be even worse. Some scientists even say that it is not actually the dark people that are scared of it is them imagining things that the dark could be hiding.  So just remember anything is the world could be terrifying it just depends on who you are, what you are doing and how you view the situation that you are in.

  Roller Coasters are TERRIFYING. Never go on a roller coaster because they are so scary. Being on a roller coaster means you could risk your life because they twist, spin and turn in all directions, sometimes even upside down and there is a chance that you could fall out and die! Also if you go upside down you could be sick or badly hurt yourself. A roller coaster is dangerous because it may just stop and you could be stuck suspended in the air for hours. Trust me roller coasters are petrifying, never ever go on a roller coaster again.

Did you know that every 1 in 20 kiwi kids is born with no eyeballs. Us as kiwis should be just kind and donating $5 a month. We are fortunate to have great medical staff to help us. How would you feel if your grandchildren could not see because of our cold hearts not donating. It is not fair that they are born like that and we disrespect them because of what they look like not for what they are. Together we as a great country can help those kids because if we don't act it will be TERRIFYING, TERRIFYING.

  “Good morning” I said mischievously; “can I help you find anything”?  “No, I’m just looking, thank you” said the customer anxiously.  “Are you sure? I can get you magical globes that can stop time; I can get you powerful wands that can control minds; or I can give you the ability to make objects float with just your bare hands!” The customer looks confused. “I don’t understand, she says; wha-what are you?” I look up and give a cheeky smirk. “So I ask you again , can I help you find anything in my terrifying shop of magical bits and bobs?

  The day had come, it was my first day of being a terrifying car dealer. I was so excited to get ready and sell cars. I arrived at the dealers and started talking to people. Someone started talking to me about a ford ranger truck, and I told them that these cars are very popular, they sell very fast and lots of people buy them. They are a high safety rated car, and they are great for a family. The customer was very happy with what I said. He asked me a few questions then decided this is the car.

We were going on a trip in a truck to some ‘secret’ place. We stopped on the side of the road because we needed some fresh air. I stood by a large tree and I saw something moving. The small, furry creature slowly climbed its way up the branch, it had three claws on each paw to help it stay on the branch and it had marks around its eyes similar to a panda. Suddenly a vehicle came around the corner blasting out loud music. I looked back to see if the creature was still there but it had vanishe

Amwolf - Week 8

  “Come on! Pump the music louder!” my mate shouted as we headed towards the four wheel driving track down by the rivermouth. The music was already blasting our ears but that's just the way we liked it w hile I turned up the bass on max. Slowly we tumbled in our toyota hilux towards the hill. As we climbed, the vehicle suddenly jolted to a stop so we put on the hand brake and hopped out to see our dinner in front of us. A delicious baby deer came out of the blue infront of our truck and smashed his head.

Taylor - Week 8

  There was a furry cat, but he heard something that was abysmal to his ears. It sounded like music, but all the notes were jumbled up. He vowed to stop it, and he started to search for the cause of the music. He climbed onto a vehicle close to him. And he saw a shop with a radio! It was on the other side of the road. He slowly made his way to the other side of the road. However he was so slow that the shop closed! He was mad but also glad because they’d turned off the radio.

Tegan - Week 8

Yay we are going to q ueenstown. Mum had just got a new vehicle ; this was the first time she has driven it on a very long trip. While we were on the road traviling mum put the music to full blast and my ears started hurting straight away. We’re finalliy there! We quickly unpacked and went up the mountain to ski. I was the best at skiing; I was always at the bottom when they were slowly coming down the mountain. I got sick of waiting for them so I climbed onto the furry chair lift and off I went.

Tom - Week 8

It was the 16th of July when I was taking my Honda CRF250X down the river that was as soft as quicksand. I was about to head back up the river when I heard a vehicle that was playing music . I started up the Honda CRF, climbed on, turned around, then started hooning back up the river. Then all of a sudden 100 furry creatures came up and started following me. They had 4 red eyes and six brown legs but they were going so slow ly I thought they were going to fall over, but instead they started chasing  ME!!

Madeline - Week 8

Today was the most exciting day! I was going to buy my first vehicle with my money! It had to be amazing! I would go driving by the beach and listen to music and just go anywhere. I wen t to the car shop and looked at a few cars. I climbed into this beautiful car and glanced at all the details in it. It was perfect! I lifted up the glove box and there was an unwanted surprise. A furry rat! It was definitely a red flag for me. I slowly hopped out of the car and kept on looking.

Chloe - Week 8

  We were finally leaving. I was finishing packing my bag, Dad was getting the vehicle ready. I was filled with joy and excitement. Mum turned on the music , we were on the road. Slowly we were getting close. I looked out my window at the most stunning view ever. We were driving on a hill looking down at a lake that was filled with crystal clear water. We were here. I put on my furry jacket and climbed out of the car. Running around the corner, what I saw was not what I was expecting. Where have they taken me?

Niamh - Week 8

  I had been waiting for ages to get my new vehicle and the day had finally come. I slowly made my way to the new car. I stepped over the  step and climbed in. The music played softly in the background while I sat down on the comfy, furry front seat. The salesman asked me if I wanted to take her for a quick spin. I drove down the street. The journey was so smooth. I drove all the way to Ashburton and back; trying out all the new things. I didn’t want to stop driving. I loved this car!

Ally - Week 8

  I had been waiting for 2 weeks to go on our car trip. The day had finally come. We were packing our bags and Dad was getting the vehicle ready.  We left at 12:30 and were going to arrive at about 2:30. The music was slowly playing as almost everyone in the car was asleep. When we arrived at our campsite I climbed out of the car with my furry jacket on. I was so happy that we arrived at our campsite, after I had been waiting for two long weeks. I fell asleep quickly in my bed.

One bright sunny day my family and I head out on a bush walk. The walk is long but it has a lot of cool native bushes and really detailed trees and stones. As we keep walking, getting closer and closer to the top, I glimpse the head of a weird looking statue. I run ahead of my family to get a better look. I gingerly approach the statue and it looks like a gravestone.  As I read the gravestone it talks about a soldier who died in a war in that area. I am amazed it’s where I’m standing.

Jarrhed - statue

The man on the statue always scared me since I always thought it would break free from the stone. I had a dream once where it would break free after 100 years. I had always thought it was just a nightmare but it was a vision that in the year 2030 the statue will break free from the stone. The statue is approximately 5000 years old and was built by early human s. N ow here we are 10 years later the statue has broken free, demolishing cities one by one. There's no way to stop it but to wait patiently.

It was a stormy night in the park like always, the expert geese had taken all of the land from the humans. However there was slight hope, The humans sent the strongest troop they had, and his name was Sir Something. Sir Something was a master at stealth and kicked some geese into the sun. Then suddenly, BAM! A goose used a bomb to blow up Sir Something which sent him to the moon. Everyone was mad at the geese, and the geese got sent to the sun. Some still say Sir Something is still alive to this day.. somehow.

The sky was dark , the orange and red morning sky drifted over the top of the batted down trenchers. The date was 28th of July 1917 right in the midst of WW1. The Germans had just fired guns up in the air to show that we needed to start again. I got up and beated my drum to wake up the other soldiers. They all got and saluted in sync. I marched them up the hill to Jabba Point where we could get a good look out on all the soldiers. Then BANG a shot fired up , we were gone….

  I remember the day war started he was the leader of the english army we all loved him so much he was our hero. He had 200 IQ. He knew every plan the Germans were going to take and he would always counter attack them. He took us to victory. I also remember the day he passed away from the germans terrorist attack even though the war had ended a year before. I met him once at a dinner. He played the drums for all of us. There was nothing that man couldn’t do. He will always be a legend.

  In the year 1939 there were many wars going on at the time. But there was this one guy who is really good at sniping the enemies from a distance.

At dusk the almost gone army attacked with everything they had. David's army was outnumbere d n ow the other army got reinforcement but David brought his army time to retrea t D avid threw and threw grenades. He ran out of grenades but d avid….

It was another ordinary day. I was just standing there with my drums and my swords waiting for people to stop and look at me. It was at that time of day where everyone would normally come and see me but no one came. It was getting late until one person came up the hill and went straight under and broke the rule. The rule said do not touch. But that kid did and then I came alive. I touched myself and my skin was softed the boy ran away as fast as he could wishing he didn’t touch me.

One day in a mysterious cave, a humanoid-like creature came sluggishly out of the small cave on the edge of town “ Which way to the shops?’’ it panted… as he slithered like a slug into the deserted part of town. It was now at the front of the dairy. The thing was looking around the dairy for something, was it food or something else?. “There is nothing,” it screamed as the thing went into a blind rage and it grew in size. It was about the size of a building. The humanoid-like creature ran to the populated town and everyone...

Chloe 12.6.21

I woke up feeling like I had forgotten something, something important. What was it though? I know I didn’t know, until my mum woke. Then it hit me. It was Mother's Day , h ow on earth did I forget! There was only one problem, maybe more. I didn’t have anything to give her! Without saying anything I put my coat on and grabbed my dog, so I didn’t look suspicious. I started running almost too fast for my own feet. ‘Which way to the shops?’ it panted. Who was that? Were they talking to me? If so, was that my dog?

  It was a sunny day, and there was a cat. He was starving, but noticed a shop. He ran to it but he ran into construction, and got picked up by a crane. He could only jump into the fore st, a nywhere else he would be damaged. So he took a leap, and landed safely in a lake. He noticed some campers, and ran to them quickly. … ‘Which way to the shops?’ it panted … They didn’t understand what he said, but the cat saw the shops behind them. He ran to the shops and had a wonderful ice cream.

Kate - 12.6.21

I was walking down the street to the shop and I saw something coming my way. It was running toward me at a tremendous speed. “Which way to the shops?” it panted. “That way.” I said pointing in the direction I was going. Whatever it was, it didn’t look right. It had gigantic eyes, a bulbous nose, ragged fur and a big long slobbery tongue. I arrived at my destination/the shop’s, it was now lunchtime and I was hungry. I walked in and there it was looking into the ice cream tub. I bought a pie and walked home.

Eliza - 12.6.21

  As I turned the corner onto Tuners d riv e t he nicest dressed monster I have ever seen ran straight into me. It’s soft pink suit went hand in hand with it’s electric blue fur. It had small horns that stuck out of his head in a breathtaking spiraling pattern, but the picture was ruined by the fact it was wearing no shoes and it’s suit was torn. It looked up at me with soft brown eye s “w hich way to the shops?’ it panted. I lifted my shaking hand and pointed the way I had come. The monster ran off and disappeared.

  The forest looked more beautiful than the day before. There were animals all around the abandoned hut. Some were drinking out of gutters and some were eating the small berries growing out of the window. There was a hole in the side of the hut and a bird feeder that was now filled with dirt and grass. A small squirrel was sitting in a tree with a nut in it’s paws. It cracked it open and the nut fell to the ground. Suddenly the squirrel opened the flaps on its sides. “ I didn’t know they could fly!” my sister said.

  The sky was dark, the evening red and orange sky drifted overhead as I was riding my bike home from a long day's work on the farm. Suddenly there lying motionless on the ground was a duck. It looked like it had only one wing. I swerved to avoid it and carried on my way back home. Then all of a sudden I heard a quack. Quick as a flash I jolted my head up into the night sky and there were lots of ducks led by the one with only one wing ‘…I didn’t realise they could fly!…’

Reina - 4/6/21

  My friends and I went to the pet store and bought a little pig. We then brought her home to take good care of. We thought of a name for our pig. After hours of thinking we came up with a name. We called our pig Peppa. Althea and I then filled a little pool with water as Peppa rolled in a pond of mud. The little pool was ready for Peppa to take a bath. Peppa ran and jumped into the small pool but before Peppa could touch the water she grew wings. I didn’t realise she could fly!

We had arrived. We were down at the beach on a still sunny da y, it was stunning. I went down towards the water as I was already getting bored. I picked up a stone and threw it into the water and to my surprise I spotted something swimming in the water . “What is it?” my sister whispered to me. “I don’t know,” I whispered back. “Wait, is that a fish!” my sister yelled. “Mum come here”. Suddenly the fish came shooting up towards the sky then it started flying in the air! “I didn’t realise they could fly!” I said .

Amwolf - 4/6/21

  It all started on another sunny, Saturday morning as I was taking a long walk on the wide sand. The beach was four thousand meters long and with a low tide it was stunning. While walking, I stumbled across a wee little crab , wandering through the rockpools. I picked it up and took a close up look at it. Noticing its tiny features along its legs all of a sudden it flew up at me and nipped my ear! I didn’t realise they could fly! I placed the bully back down on the sand and carried on with my walk.

Amelia 4/6/21

I was walking down the street thinking how I love our town where the trees are bare and the sky is brown. I ended up at the beach. I love the shimmering brown ocean. Before I knew it a giant man eater came out of the sky and I didn’t realise they could fly! These things look like giant bunnies that flap their extra large ears like wings and have super long teeth. It swooped at me and caught my shirt in its teeth and up I went before it dropped me in the water because I screamed too much.

  In the cold mist of Antarctica, there are some birds known as penguins. I was looking around and I saw a lot of these critters, and all of them were known to be flightless. But there was one penguin trying to change that. He worked for hours to create a device that could boost him into the air. And then the penguin tried it. It was an ice jetpack. He turned it on, and I said “..I didn’t realise they could fly!..” but then, the flames of the jetpack melted the ice jetpack. I guess they can’t fly after all...

Fletcher 4/6/21

  One day I was fishing in the Sounds and I pulled up a Flying fish which I didn't realise they could fly. It started flipping and it went all round the boat and then flew straight at me but luckily I ducked and it hit the side of the boat and died.  We had it for dinner and it was yummy.

Ruby 4/6/21

  “I didn’t know they could fly!” Ally said as I pointed up at the sky towards 3 chickens soaring through the air. We watched where they were going and they ended up landing on a wharf beside lots of people with food. One of the people gave them a hot chip each. When they had finished the chips then flew off again. We went home and we explained to mum how we saw flying chicken s ,s he thought that was pretty cool. We went to go play outside and there they we re th e three strange chickens flying high above our house

George 4/6/21

  One beautiful day, I woke up and I thought, I reckon I’m going to go fishing. So I packed up my boat and jumped into my 2014 Toyota Hilux and headed out to the bay. I launched my boat from the boat ramp and then headed out to my number one spot to go fishing. On the way there I felt some bumps and I stopped a bit to see what was happening . Then I ignored it and kept going. I then felt one last bump before the boat launched into the air “I didn’t realise they could fly”.

Achie 4/6/21

I thought it could be a lovely summer walk. Walking through these tall golden brown palm trees I could mistake myself for being in heaven, until I saw a horse flying ‘I didn’t realise they could fly!’  Where's my phone? I need a video of this so I could be social media famous. I will be a quintillionaire, I got my phone. Heyyy where did the flying horse go? Heyy there she is starting flying again. I need this fame. I could buy a humongous boat  that costs $800,000,000. That would be the greatest investment ever. Now fly!

  “But we can’t take cars over the sea, we need a plane. We are only in New Zealand, '' I explained. “Hold on, you’ll see soon.” “But I...” he cuts me off again “you take that car.” I follow my instructions and hop into the driver's seat of the blue car. “Press the green button,” he tells me; I do so and “Wow I didn’t realise they could fly .” We were flying over everyone avoiding the traffic. We flew all the way to London over famous statues and landmarks to land in Disneyland. “What a short ride that was,” I said.

James 4/6/21

  One day I was going skydiving with my friends but then a terrible thing happened. Maxton and Archie fell out of the plane and they both had no parachute on. They were both free falling. Suddenly they stretched out their arms and legs and the air shot them up. I didn’t realise they could fly.  They were wearing free falling body suits. I watched as they were gliding through the air and when I released my parachute they were gone. I thought they would have landed at the bottom but I was wrong. Where could they be? What has happened?

Eliza 4/6/21

I snuck through the forest trying to stay as silent as possib le m aking one leaf rustle could ruin my chances. I was so excited. If I could get a good picture of a rare little spotted kiwi I could get the last of the money I needed to pay for my flight to Italy. I paused and listened carefully as there was the sound of rustling leaves. Creeping carefully forward, I found a clearing with a little spotted kiwi flying around in it. An excited whisper escaped my lips “I didn’t know they could fly!” carefully I raised my Camera.

One day I was walking down to the bird zoo and I saw this turkey staring at me menacingly. The zoo was filled with birds. I thought it was odd putting an animal that couldn't fly in a bird zoo.  The turkey moved backwards and spread its wings out and flew away at 50 miles at high speed. He was zooming around like he hadn't eaten in days and he was waiting for his food to arrive.  When it arrived it put its wings away to eat. I went home thinking to myself “I didn’t realize they could fly”.  Amazing!
