Yesterday evening the kids were waiting anxiously at the dinner table as I opened the oven door to pull out the pizza. Savannah intoned, "Magic wand fly swift and sure, make dad brave, and help him not to burn himself." When I brought the pizza to the table without having burned myself, Savannah took the credit: "Dad, I cast a spell on you so you wouldn't burn yourself, and you didn't!" Thanks, Savannah, dad needs all the help he can get.
Someone's too obsessed with "Sleeping Beauty, methinks.
But of course, I am Prince Philip (see photo of me in my Prince Philip Halloween costume), so maybe it was appropriate for Savannah to use the spell (though much modified) on me that helped the prince in Sleeping Beauty defeat the evil fairy Maleficent.
