Take one Bendy Straw. Must be bendy. Put the end of the straw in your armpit, a little past center, not too far or close to the back of your arm. Hold your arm down, but not tight. Now blow on the straw. Instant entertainment. I became my 7 year-old nephew's favorite aunt over this one (The mother of two boys that age showed it to me--yes, another nurse). Of course, my sister, and the nuns at his school were less than thrilled, but, hey, what are aunts for?!
