The Prophet for Birds

cremainsMiddle Stepchild has proclaimed himself the prophet for birds, something I had jokingly suggested after he kept telling me about all these dreams he had where he spoke with our birds. Now he's running with the idea and can even communicate with birds in his dreams, he says.
His current interests include blind people, dogs for blind people, and sticks for blind people.
I dreamed that I was in yeshiva listening to one of my teachers give a lecture on killing witches. In the dream I recognised the techniques as having been pioneered in the small town in Northern Ireland where I was born. I was very excited to have my hometown mentioned by this teacher. "You have to throw the stone right at the heart of the witch," he was saying.
However, as I was listening, I felt my tefillin shel rosh loosen. The longer the lesson went on, the looser it got, until I had to hold it in place with my hand and there was an entire tefach of loose strap (the measurement in my dream was very precise). I took it off and tried to ease the knot to see if I could adjust it, but the knot fell apart right away, and I couldn't remember how to put it back together again.
I pulled out my phone and started looking up how to tie the knot, but the teacher shouted "What are you doing with your phone in class?"
When I explained to him, his demeanor changed right away, and he came over and took me into another room to show me how to tie the knot. He tied it exactly the right tightness, then sat me down and gave me a big hug. I was very small in size, like a child, and it felt like I was being completely forgiven for having done something wrong.
