The latest:
Kyla and I were driving home from Etobicoke to St. Catharines .. (I, of course, was driving, she was in the back seat!) and as happens quite often, she was starting to feel car-sick, so I told her to look out the window and find the furthest thing she could see and try to figure it out .. so she decided to find shapes in the clouds ... and she said she could see a dragon's tail ... and its head was up above the car ... so I played along, wondering if it was going to eat the car! And she shouted YES! .. so I asked if she knew a magic spell to protect us, she didn't know one, but said she knew one to make us invisible... and she proceeded to chant a spell that involved lots of hand actions and spooky words and swooshing noises ... and then she said "Okay! Now we are invisible!" .. and silly me, told her it worked, that I couldn't see the car at all! And no sooner had she said "yay! neither can anyone else! I really am magic!" ... then the big black truck to my left put on his signal and changed lanes RIGHT into me .. I honked and edged onto the shoulder of the road and braked all at the same time ... there was no accident, thank goodness, but the driver of the truck didn't even seem to REACT to my honks or evasive actions.... as though we weren't even there!!!
