The magic of pretending
Grandboy: Why the Christmas lights outside shut off in the daytime?
Me: O that’s because of the photoelectric cells. They see the sun is up and flip the switch to cut off the flow of electricity to the lights.
Grandboy: Oooooh. And when it’s darktime the phonolen thing it turns on the lights.
Me: Yep.
Grandboy: But I can PRETEND they turn on and off with MAGIC, right?
Me: Sure! Nothing wrong with pretending about magic. Boom you’re a monkey.
Grandboy: Now I’m hungry Gwumpa. I can have banana now?
