You: I have ESP! You can write anything you can think of on a piece of paper, and I can tell you what’s on the paper!
Your Unsuspecting Parent: Really? Show me!
You: Write something on this piece of paper, but don’t tell me what you wrote.
YUP: Okay.
You: Now fold the paper in half 3 times.
YUP: Okay.
You: Take the paper and walk over to the other side of the room and carefully put the paper under one of your feet.
YUP: Does it matter which foot?
You: Umm…no.
YUP: Okay, I did all that. What’s on the paper?
You: Your foot!
Now scoot scoot scoot to find another Unsuspecting Adult!
