My whole family goes to a bunch of cottages with eachother every year. there is only five of us who are over the age of ten, the other twelve of us are eight or younger. One day my cousin philip and I decided it would be fun to, trick the younger kids into thinking he could control the weather. We figured out what way the wind was blowing, then got the younger ones. I was standing so the wind would hit me about five seconds before it would hit him, so I'd wave to him when I felt the wind, and he'd start slowly raising his arms. As he did that, the wind would pick up. That was three years ago, and these kids who saw him do that still say "Mommy! look, it's the boy who controld the wind!"
