Sounds like my middle grandson. He's also a klutz and trips over air. He 
one time was sitting on the floor and suddenly jumped up running head 
first into a couch, bouncing back onto his butt. He also has this impish 
grin that he gets while staring at you doing something that he knows 
that he shouldn't but he's gonna do it anyway. Hmmm, I guess I went OT 
on the OT. Sorry.
