Okay, here’s the thing—my dad is a wizard. No, seriously. A straight-up, no-holds-barred wizard. I know what you’re thinking, “Magic doesn’t exist!” But let me tell you, if you’d ever met my dad, you’d have a different opinion.
It started when I was about seven. Most kids had their dads do the usual stuff—showing them how to ride a bike, grilling hamburgers, or pretending to understand their schoolwork. My dad? He was out here turning spoons into small birds.
At first, I thought it was just a trick, a little sleight of hand. But then, one day, I watched him pull a rabbit out of his top hat at the dinner table. A real rabbit. No one knows where it came from. Not even him. He just shrugged and said, “Magic’s funny like that.”
The thing is, my dad doesn’t just perform traditional magic. He’s got some serious skills. Forget card tricks or pulling flowers out of sleeves. My dad has mastered things that would make Hogwarts look like a daycare. Once, I asked him where he got his magic from, and he just said, “It’s a family heirloom.”
I never questioned it again.
There was the time he changed the weather on a whim. It was a Monday morning—rainy, gloomy. We had tickets to a baseball game, but he was determined. “Nah, not today,” he said, and snapped his fingers. The clouds parted, and a beam of sunshine hit the stadium. The announcer even commented on how “perfect the weather was for the game.”
Then there’s the time he made an entire dinner party disappear. Well, not disappear, exactly—but he made the food vanish. I was sitting in the kitchen, and my dad just waved his hands over the plates. One second, they were full. The next? Completely empty. Not a crumb in sight. Everyone just stared, confused. My dad smiled and said, “Oops, guess I overdid it.”
I’m telling you, this man’s abilities are next level. One of my personal favorites was the time he fixed the broken TV. No tools, no wires—just a quick tap with his finger and poof, it was working again. I don’t even know how that’s possible.
But here’s the thing: my dad doesn’t make a big deal of it. He doesn’t parade around town, casting spells or showing off his powers. He uses them to make life a little more interesting, a little more fun. It’s like he’s living in his own magical world, and we’re all just lucky to be part of it.
The only problem with having a magic dad? No one believes me. I’ve tried telling friends, teachers, even random strangers. But when you say, “Yeah, my dad is a wizard,” people think you’re joking. I get the usual responses: “Sure, buddy, and I’m a unicorn.”
I’ve stopped trying to convince anyone. They’ll just have to see it for themselves. One day, when they’re stuck in traffic, and my dad shows up to clear the road with a flick of his wrist, they’ll finally believe me. Until then, I guess I’ll just keep living in the magical chaos that is my life with my dad.
Magic isn’t just about spells and incantations—it’s about making the impossible seem ordinary. And for me, that’s my dad every single day.
