Happy Fatherhood Friday everyone! Thanks to dad-blogs.com for sponsoring this magical weekly event.
So Big Brother had "Show and Tell" at school this week, which meant that
What does a 5 year-old bring in for show and tell?
Our first 3 ideas were toys, toys, and...uh...toys?
"Do they really want him to bring toys to school?"
Other ideas were similarly unfruitful.
1. "This is Little Brother's toy. I took it from him. He cried. I had to go to time out."
2. "This is a picture of my brother's ouch-ie from when I pinched him. He cried then, too. I had to go to time out again."
3. "This is my tv. I must watch an episode of 'Wow Wow Wubbzy' every morning or I'm irritable. Mom-E says it's very necessary--like morning coffee."
Finally, I came up with a magical idea--he could do a MAGIC TRICK!
Big Brother LOVES to do magic. It's really cute to watch his excitement
His Pa-pa bought him a magic set, complete with an instructional DVD, for his last birthday. It's been a great introduction to basic magic tricks, and gives him an opportunity to perform for others. He's very proud of himself.
So, Big Brother brought in his "magic box", and made a Lightning McQueen disappear and then reappear in the magic drawer.
He practiced several times the night before and morning of, including his "magic words": bippity boppity boo.
Apparently his magic trick went over quite well.
I asked him, "What did your class say when you made Lightning disappear?"
"They said, uh, how did you do that?" he replied.
I was proud that he answered them with "Magic."
And even when they pressed him about it, he said, "I can't tell you. It's magic."
So I guess technically he just participated in "Show" as opposed to "Show and Tell", but I think he was appropriately excused from the "Tell" part.
And now it's my turn for some magic. For my

Well Done Big Brother, a magician never tells how the trick works
ReplyDeleteWow, Big Brother is quite the entertainer! I am so impressed and would like to see a trick next time we're together!! Good job, little guy!
ReplyDeleteLove, aunt-e
I guess it should be called Show and Tell unless you do a Magic Trick. He may have a future as a magician since he alreayd knows the most important rule.
ReplyDeleteGo Big Brother! I'm sure your magic show was a big hit!
ReplyDeleteThat had to be so adorable.
ReplyDelete@Portland Dad: That's right. Big Brother has that part down.
ReplyDelete@Aunt-E: I'm sure he'd love to do some magic for you guys.
@Otter: He's a little ham.
@Gramm-E: He'd like to do a show for you and Grampap-E, too.
@WM: It's really fun and sweet to watch him perform. I love how childre n are fearless when it comes to performing like that.
I'm sure his classmates enjoyed the "Show" even if he didn't "Tell." I would have loved to see him perform his magic act. I'm sure it's fun to watch.
