Remote Control Smile

My son has a remote control

That magically changes the imaginary boat you are on

Into another kind of imaginary boat

It also turns the boat on and off and

Controls wave height

Cloud formation

Nautical traffic patterns

Proximity to sharks and

The location of the sun

It doesn’t

Make noises

Illuminate in any way or

Turn off or on any kind of electronic apparatus

It has no batteries

In my hands it does nothing

In his

It makes us both

Smile
