The Magic Word

This evening, during dinner....

Son No 3: Mummy, can you give me the chicken?
Mummy: (deliberately ignore)
Son No 3: Mummy, can you give me the chicken?
Mummy: (no reaction)
Daddy: Didi, did you forget the magic word?
Son No 2: (chipping in) Hocus-pocus? Expalliarmus? :)
Son No 3: (earnestly) No-la, please, thank you, excuse me, you're welcome.

Son No 3 got his chicken.

Actually, Harry Potter fans would know the correct word for a summoning spell is "Accio"!



Picture: Sons No 2 & 3 doing their homework together. A sublime moment of peaceful co-existence!
