I got Ellie a Magic 8 Ball. We were trying to find a little gift for her for Valentine's Day at Target, and it was in the right price range. We had been staring at toys for about an hour and she could not decide on anything, so I finally said, "I'm leaving. If you don't pick something now, you don't get anything." So I walked off and she chased me and when she saw that I was heading for the checkout line, she decided that she wanted the Magic 8 Ball.
Her first question when we got home was, "Magic 8 Ball, should I watch Harry Potter or Johnny Test?" I said, "You have to ask it yes or no questions." I showed her how to hold the ball so the 8 is facing up and ask it very solemnly, "Oh, Magic 8 Ball, when I grow up will I become a veterinarian?" Then you shake it and turn it upside down and look to see if it says, "It is decidedly so," or "Ask again later."
After awhile, I was at the dryer folding clothes, and I heard Ellie say from the other room, "I love you, Magic 8 Ball. Do you love me?"
At least it was a yes or no question.

And what did Magic 8 Ball reply? Yes, I hope.
And next you should get her...a ouija board!!!
Actually, the Magic 8 Ball said "No," and Ellie yelled, "Waaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!"
I will not get her a Ouija board and invite Satan into our home.
