"What are bucks?" My little sister asked climbing to sit on the couch by me. I glanced from my book to look over at her.
"Bucks?" I asked back trying to clarify what she was saying.
"No," Janie sighed shaking her head. She looked at the book in my hand and stared intently at it.
"Books." I stated after a while knowing that was the word she was trying to pronounce.
"Yeah, bucks." Janie said bouncing excitedly. I smiled at how cute she was; soaking in this good moment.
"Bo-ok. Book. Say it Janie." I told her pronouncing the word so she can repeat it to me.
"Bo-ok. Book." Janie said repeating what I said. "Now what's a- bo-ok. Book." Janie asked very slowly.
"Books are magic." I smiled a little whispering lowly to Janie.
"Magic?!" Janie screamed at me curiously, while jumping up on the couch. Both her tiny feet covered in dirty sponge bob socks.
"Shh-" I said quickly, "you have to keep down. Only the really quiet people know about the magic in books." I whispered looking around for effect.
"Okay. Tell me magic." Janie ordered quietly scooting closer to me. I swear five year old's can get really bossy.
"Okay, like I said before books are magic. Each book holds a different story and they all have different titles." I started using my hands for emphasis. "Now every book has a different story that takes you to amazing places, but only the most special of all special people can read with magic." I told Janie watching her eyes light up with curiosity.
"Can you read me this book?" Janie asked me grabbing my hand to bring the book down just a little.
"Of course I will, but remember only the special people get to experience magic."
