Magic (Move Over, Mr Copperfield)

#113

While having his bath…

Rockstar: Mum. Dad. Want to see magic?

Us: Sure.

Rockstar places an opaque little plastic tupperware on the side of the bath

Rockstar: What’s inside?

Us: Umm, bath water?

Rockstar: No, no water.

(But he doesn’t show us the empty tupperware either)

Rockstar: <waving a bubble wand> Abba-cadabaaaa…. Zap!

(Opens tupperware)

Rockstar: See? Water! It’s magic! …..Want to see another?

Us: Sure.

Rockstar: What’s inside?

Us: Umm, bath water?

Rockstar: No. A bus.

(But he doesn’t show us the bus in tupperware either)

Us: A…. BUS???

(Thinking: Where did he get that, he doesn’t have any bus bath toys and he wasn’t playing with any buses earlier today either)

Rockstar: <Very bossily> SSHHHH!

<waving the bubble wand> Abba-cadabaaaa…. Zap!

(Opens tupperware)

Rockstar: See? No bus! It’s magic!

And for us, it really is.

When was the last time we found joy in something so simple?

Have a beautiful, blessed week ahead!

(Here’s another)

Cost: 1 Toilet Roll.

Purchase: Pleasure.

(And a promise he will not mess with our toilet paper anymore without asking. So far he’s holding up really well – toilet rolls are no longer endlessly mysterious forbidden fruit.)
