So, I maybe a couple times sarcastically answered one or two of Alex's questions that I didn't know the answer to with a sing-song "Maaaagic!" I've also employed that little gem when I can't figure out how to explain a difficult concept. It's all fun and games until the little one catches on and uses it on you.
Me: Alex, how did this water get all over the floor?
Alex: ~Maaaaagic?~
You guys, I am totally screwed. He's learning too much, too fast.
Yesterday there was a moment where I totally could have used the ol' Maaaagic response, but I decided to try to be a good mom and not impede his learning. We started moving forward after a stop light turned green and from the back seat he asked me, "Mom, why do you move backward when the car starts moving forward?" It took me a hot minute to understand what he was asking, but once I figured it out, I then had to figure out how to explain physics to a 4 year old.
Magic? Not this time. This time? SCIENCE! Boom.
