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 places an opaque little plastic tupperware on the side of the bath
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.)
