It's Magic...

I had about a half hour to wait before my taxi came to pick me up from the airport when the offspring asked if they could go outside and play. I said sure and told them to get their coats and shoes on. The hall closet door sticks and when I went downstairs, the Thing 2 was waiving a Harry Potter wand over the doornob. The conversation between her and the boy went like this:

Thing 2 - It will too work, abracadabra.
Thing 1 - It isn't magic.
Thing 2 - It just takes time - Alakazam.
Thing 1 - See!!!
Thing 2 - Open, I command you!!!

At that point I opened the closet door for them.

Thing 2 - See, it worked.
Thing 1 - THAT IS NOT MAGIC!!!!
