Pedaling With Teo Has Moved

Hello everybody! We have recently moved our blog to pedalingwithteo.com We are very excited about our new cite and we hope to see you there!!

Old Braud conversation with Ruth Wedge

After Teo's Round Table discussion at church in MN, special friends came over to my parents house for lunch.  Ruth Wedge (college roommate Anne's mother) sits down in front of Teo and says,
" Teo, I'm an old braud. What do you think that means?"
T:  Yes.  Energy has accumulated for a long time.
Ruth"  For how many years has this energy been accumulating, do you think?
T: For a lot of years that I'd rather not guess.
Mom:  Kiah would like to come out next summer.  What would she do?
T:  She could drive me around to all my speaking engagements!

Scientific Method lesson

This is just a quickie, but I love it.  I was teaching a lesson on the "scientific method."  The three steps are:  observation, ask a question, make a hypothesis.  So, I asked Teo to do this...

Observation: " Mom is energy for teaching."
Ask a question:  "What is her interest in teaching me?"
Make a hypothesis: (Teo defined hypothesis as "an educated guess at the answer.") "She loves me so likes to inspire me."

Anne and Jeff's house in MN

We were in Zumbrota, MN visiting my college roommate Anne, and her family.  Her husband, Jeff (really called, "Effy") spent the day with Teo in his woodshop.  They made a gorgeous keepsake box!  It was such a special afternoon.  Teo learned a lot, was fascinated by all the machinery and Jeff's skills both as a wood craftsman and as a teacher.  Then, we were sitting around talking about Teo's upcoming talk at the church in which I was raised.  Teo was going to have a round-table discussion, so this is the brainstorming session about topics for that discussion...
Q:  What should we talk about at church?
T:  I think a topic of God would be appropriate.
Q:  What do you want your opening statement to be?
T:  To acknowledge that God rests in us.
Q:  Now what...define autism?
T:  Yes.  Autism is not a neurological condition but rather a spiritual energy.
Anne:   When are you going to write your book?
T:  I am deciding how much to reveal right now.
Anne:  Hey Matteo, you're amazing and I've always known that.
T:  Good Anne.  Please keep it up.
Mom:   Can you see why I had fun living with Anne for 3 years?
T:  Kind of silly times, I'd imagine.
T:  God is kind of like spiritual energy on steroids.  To add to this, kind of like you, Mom, not like staying stagnant.  God is always moving and shaking things up. 
Mom:  Are you saying that I do that?
T:  Yes.  I am you.  All the reasons I am like I am revolve around you.
Mom:  Why are you giving me so much credit?
T:  Christ gave me to you. 
Anne:  What would you like the people at church to know about you?
T:  That I am happy.  That I am smart.  That I am God's little messenger and love Him.
Anne:  What is God telling you to share with us?
T:  God is love.  Make praying a daily practice so He can help you. Anne, I love you.  She is the pretty green (aura color) that is also Lenae (RPM teacher).  She likes to teach and is a loving energy
Anne:  Why are you eating so many different foods now?  You used to eat just pepperoni and veggies.
T:  Because I can now access energy to digest it.
Mom:  SO the issue was never a matter of texture?  Just of accessing energy?
T:  Yes.  Accessing energy.  A matter of digestability.
Mom:  SO why has that ability changes so much in the past few months?  Is it because of RPM?
T:  Because of God and energy work.

I asked Teo to complete this sentence:  A friend is _________.  
T:  A friend is someone with whom your energy resonates.
Q:  Name 3 things you associate with the word "friend."
T:  play games, run around, talk
Q:  What are some things you could disagree about with someone?
T:  food, sleep time, how to kind of play

Aura colors in MN and Sandy

People were asking Teo what color their aura's were (Teo sees aura colors).

"Papa's aura is a blue/green and Wally's aura is pink."
"Pink aura means Wally is a kind man who loves to make others feel happy.  Papa's aura color means he really likes to teach and love."

Wow...they were both very descriptive of Papa and Wally!

Wally and Sandy are Teo's MN godparents.  Teo had a nice conversation with Sandy.

T:  How is life with Wally?
Sandy:  Great!  We laugh a lot.  He's a good man.
T:  I think you two should come to our house.
Papa:  What would Wally like to do with your dad?
T:  Really!  Golf.  Sandy, are you like a best friend?
Mom:  What do you think makes Sandy one of Mom's best friends?
T:  She is a best friend because she loves Mom and me, too.

Airplane ride to MN

So, we were in the plane to MN to visit my family and I got out a word-search for Teo to do.  This book I have chooses a topic for the word search and this topic was "barbeque."  So, I made an RPM lesson out of the word search.  The following are random answers to questions I posed during the lesson.  RPM is all about expanding the persons mind, so we ask for a lot of synonyms, definitions, or ask "what 3 things come to your mind when you think of the word _____?

Marinade
Mom:  Teo, what does it mean to "marinade" something?
Teo:  Soak the meat in juice.  Change the texture of the meat.

Porterhouse
Mom:  Speaking of "house,"  what 3 things come to mind when you think of "house"?
Teo:  sleep, help mom, rain

Mom:  Teo, what does "rare" mean?
Teo: Cooked just enough to make it safe.

Then Teo said out of the blue..."It is fun having a lesson like this."

Dinner
Mom:  What comes to mind when you think of "dinner"?
Teo:  camping, family, mom
Mom:  How about "fry"?
Teo:  frying pans, hot, stove

Teo and Ethan-Beach Skit

The boys had a joint session with Lenae and wrote a skit.

Characters:  Matteo's character is named Henry
                    Ethan's character is named Redy

Scene:  E:  Not inside.  At the beach.
             T:  Balls all over sand.
             E:  Mom's are watching.

Henry:  The day is hot.
Redy:  I hate the heat.  Let's swim in the ocean.
Henry:  OK, but I hear there are sharks.
Redy:  What the heck?  I am not going to believe that!
Henry:  You'll be sorry.  Trust me, the girls are not so lucky.  They were killed last night by sharks.
Redy:  Nice try!  You are lying like crazy.  I am going in now.
Henry:  You are silly.  Ball games are more fun.  I am not a liar.
Redy:  You play ball.  I will swim.
Henry:  Your loss.  Nice knowing you.
(Redy runs to the water and jumps in)
Redy:  You liar!   This is no ocean, it is fake!  Just a little puddle!
Henry:  Well then, let's play ball.
Redy:  No, I am done with the heat.  You play ball and I am not so stupid as to play short fear.
Henry:  I am kidding, just play ball.
Redy:  OK, deal.
(Henry and Redy play ball)
