Magic

It’s mid afternoon and Tristan is in the bathroom. I am questioning Connor about what type of object he just put into his stuffed dogs mouth, and he’s explaining it was medicine. Then I am questioning where the medicine came from and how he got it. (Turns out it was half a piece of chalk)

I hear the water running in the bathroom and see Tristan come racing out of the bathroom and back in again, half naked and holding the step stool. The water is still running. He throws the stool on the floor and hops on it, as I come in and say, ”I’m not sure what Tristan is doing in here, but it’s no.” Tristan ignores me completely and whispers, “look at dat water”.
I look at the running facet and there is an air bubble in the spout. Instead of coming out in a single trickle, it’s coming out in two symmetrical trickles instead of one. I have to admit, it does look pretty cool. I look at it for a minute and then turn it off and then try to turn it back on again to see if I can repeat the trick for Tristan who is still intently watching. I said to Tristan,” How did you make it do that, baby?” And he whispers, “magic.” And walks out of the bathroom.
