Wizard battle
(in the car)
RJ: I’m putting a spell on you daddy. Now you’re small and I’ve put you in a tiny little cage like a bird.Dad: Whoah. Can I climb out?
RJ: No. The bars are too close together.
Dad: I try my block magic, so your spell doesn’t get to me.
RJ: I have magic that stops block magic from working. You’re still stuck in the cage.
Dad: I call my friend, the good witch, and she casts a spell to get me out of the cage.
RJ: That wont work.
Dad: Why not?
RJ: Because I’ve left some icecream on the floor and she eats it up instead of helping you.
Dad: Rats… I’ve got some tools in my pocket and I cut a hole in the bottom of the cage and get out! Now I’m little and running and hiding in the room.
RJ: Now you step in the icecream mess and it’s all slippery and you fall over.
Dad: But I wipe off my shoes and run away and hide again!
RJ: I call my friend, the bad witch with a big nose, and she sniffs and sniffs and finds you. Now you’re in the cage again.
Dad: I climb back out the hole that I made. Ha ha! I’m running around again!
RJ: I get some super strong tape and glue and fix up the hole and we catch you and put you back in!
Dad: Can I poke through the tape?
RJ: No. It’s too strong.
Dad: Okay… umm… I use my super strong powers to bend the bars on the cage open and climb out!
RJ: We catch you and put you back. Then we put your cage inside another one that is extra strong. You can’t get out now.
Dad: I start whistling a song to call my elephant friend and he comes and gets me out!
RJ: I put a magic spell on him too. Now he’s little and I’m putting him in a cage without a daddy in it.
Dad: I whistle for my bear friend!
RJ: More magic! He’s little and I’m putting him in a cage without a daddy in it.
Dad: I whistle for my dinosaur friend!
RJ: More magic! He’s little and I’m putting him in a cage without a daddy in it.
Dad: Is there any way out of this cage?
RJ: No. Try whistling for a lion.
Dad: Uhh, okay… I whistle for my lion friend!
RJ: Magic! He’s little too and in a new cage… Try a crocodile.
Dad: Okay… I whistle for my crocodile frie…
RJ: Magic! He’s little! Try a kangaroo.
Dad: Wont you just make him little too?
RJ: Yes!
Dad: Will he get me out of the cage?
RJ: No. But I need a kangaroo for my collection.
Dad: You’ve got quite a lot of animals now.
RJ: Yes. I’m starting a zoo.

Dad: This single-parent thing is a piece of cake!

Luckily, Luke is better at these games than I am…the conversations can go on forever!

RJ is a brilliant mastermind! See how he cleverly outwits his opponent to get just what he wanted all along…poor Luke didn’t stand a chance
