Uh oh it’s magic

This weekend, my sister bought CJ a magic wand.

Now he walks around the house, pointing it at things and hoping for something to happen.

“Mom,” he says to me, “What’s that word you say again? the magic word?”

“Abracadabra.” I tell him.

He points the wand at me, gives it a wiggle, and says dramatically, “Aber-a-da-cabra! Disappear!”

A long second goes by, and I’m still here.

CJ frowns. “But mom, I want it to do magic! Can you make it do magic?”

“No, sorry honey.” I shake my head… I can’t believe I’m admitting that I can’t do magic!

We eat dinner, and it’s almost time for CJ to go to bed. Jay is waving the magic wand with aplomb. “Ka-ching!” he shouts, pointing it at CJ. “You’re a dog!”

“Ka-ching!” he points it at me, “I’m turning you to GOOD.”

“Oh great.” I say wryly. “And by the way, you don’t say Ka-CHING, you say Abracadabra.”

“Oh no,” Jay informs me, “I say ka-ching.”

CJ takes the magic wand. “I want to try it.”

He waves it in a circle just as Jay announces, “it’s time for bed.”

And, as if by magic, CJ disappears.

From the living room we can hear him saying, ever-so-quietly, “ka-ching!”
