Statue

Jonah started karate this week, and he loves it. He is catching on quickly and doing a great job of figuring the "moves" out. Since it is an ongoing class, he just joins right in with other kids who have participated for a while. There is no specific instruction for the "rookies." The kids are expected to just catch on, and Jonah is acclimating very well.
Tonight was his second class, and the instructor asked them to gather around and "Stand like a statue." Jonah stood very straight with his right fist held up in the air.
The instructor looked at him and said, "Put your arm down Jonah. Stand like a statue."
Jonah firmly straightened his arm a little higher in the air, and with a puzzled look on his face, said, "This is how a statue stands."
I guess it's time to expose him to a few more statues than just the Statue of Liberty.
