It's Magic!
I've never had a powder puff ball pulled from behind my ear before but it happened tonight at dinner. We stopped at a restaurant to eat before coming on home after our outing at the beach.
Our waiter did some magic tricks for us as he served our table. He made this little ball appear out of nowhere and then just as quickly made it disappear. Then he plucked it from behind my ear. Funny thing, I felt the ball as though it really had gone behind my ear!
At the very end of the meal, he came to our table and announced that it was time for some more magic. He held out his hands to show that he wasn't holding anything. This all happened so fast that I can't remember how it went. He gave Sarah a little ball to hold tight and then he made it appear from behind Tessa's ear and then when it disappeared again, he had Sarah open her hand and she was holding two balls! We all thought her hand would be empty!
He was also doing some magic with a little red scarf but it's all muddled in my mind now, except that suddenly, from nowhere, he had the bill for the meal in his hand. He said magic made it easier to present the bill. My son suggested that he should make the bill disappear, too, as he had the scarf and the little ball. He laughed and said that if we'd put a hundred dollar bill on the check, it would disappear immediately. Then he told my son, "You aren't the first one who has suggested that. In fact, you aren't even in the first ten thousand to say that!" But he said it in a very nice way.
It was fun to be part of a magic act, in a small way. I wouldn't want to be sawn in half!
