Mason:
Dad, there's no real magic in the world, right?

Dad:
What do you mean?

Mason:
You know, like elves and stuff. People just made that up.

Dad:
Oh, I don't know. I mean, what makes you think that elves are any more magical than something like a whale? Yoy know what I mean? What if I told you a story about how underneath the ocean, there was this giant sea mammal that used sonar and sang songs and it was so big that its heart was the size of a car and you could crawl through the arteries? I mean, you'd think that was pretty magical, right?
