Yesterday evening Molly was climbing up on furniture, holding her breath and shutting her eyes, and jumping off.

Anyone care to guess what she read yesterday afternoon?

Edited to add: I can't believe no one guessed this. She read No Flying In the House. According to that book, children who are half-fairy can fly if they hold their breath until they almost pass out and then jump off a chair. Either Molly wasn't holding her breath long enough, or Ed is not a fairy. (I already know I'm not a fairy, as I think I tried this out back when I was a kid.)

Alas, the poor kid! I, too, have read many books that made me want to hold my breath and jump off something high.
