A few hours later, when I go to tell Jake good night, I can’t believe what I see: Bugs Bunny on one side of his pillow and Freddy’s brand-new Yoda doll on the other. I grab something from my room, then go to Freddy’s. He’s sitting in bed with one of his Star Wars books, Pita Rabbit at his side.

I hold out my hands with the fingers closed so he can’t see what I’m hiding. “Wanna see what’s inside?”

He nods and sits up a little straighter.

I open my hands and show him a bunch of crayons. “Pick one.”

His eyes go wide. “Is this the trick you did at Jake’s party?”

“Maybe.”

His eyes go wider. “Are you going to teach it to me?”

“Maybe.”

He jumps off the bed and hugs me.

“Okay, okay.” I turn my back to him. “First, you’ve got to choose a color.”

He takes a year and a half to decide, but for once I don’t mind.

“Ready!”

He puts the crayon in my right hand, then I turn around and face him, bringing my left hand up front and “concentrating” really hard.

“Hmmm. I’m seeing fire engines and strawberries and cherry lollipops. Is it red?”

“How did you guess?” he asks, mystified.

“You have to promise not to show anyone else, okay?”

“I promise!”

So I show him how it works. (Ethan’s Rule #5: Like everyone knows, there’s an exception to every rule. Here’s mine: when someone does something really nice for someone else, they deserve to learn an awesome magic trick.)

He tries it. Over and over again. It takes a while, but he doesn’t give up. And when he finally gets it right, his smile is almost bigger than his entire face.

And it makes me smile, too.
