Magic Words

I think we may have been living in the world of Harry Potter too long in our house. Courtney and I had the following conversation in the van yesterday.

Courtney: Mom, why is "please" called a magic word?

Me: Because when you use it, people are more likely to give you things and be nice to you.

Courtney: Well, I don't think it should be called a "magic word."

Me: Why not?

Courtney: Because it can't be a magic word if you don't have a wand and I haven't seen anyone use that word with a wand.

How can you argue with that?!
