Its interesting where conversations with your kids can lead. The other I was talking to my kids about stories that involved magic, and my daughter asked why the magical beings had to obey rules. I told her that the rules were there to make the story more interesting, or even possible in the first place. After all, if a being or creature can do whatever it wants whenever it wants, theres not much room for conflict with it, or suspense about the outcome. This led to a discussion about mortals who make deals with magical beings, and how the deal frequently backfires because the magical being satisfies its side of the bargain in a way that was not what the mortal intended or wanted. This led to a discussion of genies, in which I mentioned that there was once a TV show about an astronaut who finds a beautiful genie and takes her home to live with him. Of course, I then had to get on YouTube to show my kids the intro to I Dream of Jeannie, which led me to these guys. Their version of The Streetbeater, aka the theme from Sanford and Son, is also very good.
