I know that this is because she knows that I was a teacher before I became a mama. Last weekend we got to see a magician at a birthday party and Maggie has been talking about him ever since. Last night we were reading stories before bed time and she wondered if I had ever been a magician. I told her I hadn&#8217;t, and asked if she&#8217;d like to be a magician when she grows up. At first she said yes, but then quickly changed her answer back to saying she wanted to be a mama and a teacher.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Well, I&#8221;m changing my answer after today. There&#8217;s no need for any nitty-gritty details here, but I think I must have forgotten that some days I most\u00a0<em>certainly do<\/em> feel like a magician. And anybody that says mothers aren&#8217;t magicians (and teachers, too!!) don&#8217;t know nuthin&#8217; about nuthin&#8217;.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>I am a magician.
