When the Easter Bunny is still magical

Tutoring...after an hour session in which the child has truly worked hard, he looks up at me, makes real eye contact for the first time, and blushes just a bit....

"Do you know Zach and Cody?"
"Yes, I know who they are."
"That's 'cause you're their mom."
"Oh, sweetie, no, I thought you meant...it's the hair, honey. I'm just a teacher."

He looks at me a minute, then smiles as if to say, "OK, I'll play along, but I know who you are."
