We Drove Him Up a Wall

Not wanting to eat his dinner tonight, John Caden got down and started walking away--right to one of the kitchen walls. Tim asked, "John Caden, what are you doing?" John Caden responded "I'm going to climb the wall!" I'm sure he's never even heard the "climbing the walls" or "driving me up the wall" expressions before, but I guess "climbing a wall" seemed like a natural boy thing for him to do to vent his anger after our repeated attempts to try to get him to eat had caused his frustration to mount.
