For those of you who didn't go on vacation with us...

So the boys and I just went to Branson with my Mom and Dad, Sister, her husband and her 2 kids!
While there we go and see Kirby the Magician! He asks for a young volunteer to come on stage and help him and we all tell wylde to raise his hand!!! He gets picked!!!! Wylde is usually so outgoing and entertaining I thought there couldn't be a better pick!
Kirby: What's you name?
Wylde: Wylde
Kirby: Wylde?
Wylde: Yes
Kirby: How old are you?
Wylde: 5
Kirby: Where are you from?
Wylde: Gardner
Kirby: Gawdna? What state is that?
Wylde: shrugs...
Kirby: Have you ever been called Wyldenator?
Wylde: No.
and then he has him do some things on stage like pound on glass that he is going to walk through to make sure it is real and what not. Wylde is unusually quiet and sober.  He gets a bunch of free stuff and comes back to sit!
On the way home from the show Wylde says, "I didn't want to go up on stage"
Me: What? Why? I thought you would love al that attention!!!
Wylde: But I'm not magical! I can't do any magic!
Oh silly boy. To be so young and naive! I explained that he was indeed magic and that Kirby just needed his help. mom and I explained that magic on stage is just like the fake stuff on TV - blood isn't blood, fights aren't fights etc...just an illusion, same as Kirby; if he wants to be magic, all he has to do is learn and he can do anything he wants.

On a side note....we had to get our picture taken as we were going to sit down. The picture was pretty pricey but Mom couldn't stop laughing at it she had to buy it. The image of Wylde smiling in the front row was just too funny. Maybe she will scan it or something so everyone can see. I don't think I have ever seen a bigger, more animated smile on anyone in my life.
