It was just in the cards
// January 22nd, 2012 // Nothing In Particular
Yesterday afternoon as I was working my Saturday away, Maddox (my 4 year old son) comes to me holding a deck of cards. He can barely hold them all but he somehow managed to (somewhat) fan them open.
“Pick a card,” he tells me.
I fool around with him a little and try to grab the entire deck. He gives me the “c’mon mom” look, so I carefully draw one card from the deck. 10 of spades.
“Ok, now put it back.”
I place the card, face down, on the top of the deck.
Maddox cuts his cute little eyes at me and then begins to mess with the cards a little. After a few seconds, he grabs the card on top and asks “is this your card?”
I almost fell out of my chair laughing. It was so adorable – such a little boy, in here practicing his first card trick. He was really excited when I told him that it was indeed my card. He didn’t quite understand the mechanics of what happened, he just knew that he succeeded. A few minutes later I heard him telling Madison, “this was mama’s card!”
