The buttons that raise and lower the windows in my car are not visible from the back seat. Somehow my niece and nephew, seeing the windows go down but not seeing a "cause" from their seats in the back decided that they were able to control the windows with their voices. Now anytime they ride with me they sing songs and say magic "abacradara" phrases to get the windows to go up and down...except in winter of course, because we all know that windows hibernate in the winter time.
A childhood belief about cars

- I used to belive that Jack Frost was a real man! and that he came and painted frost on the windows at night.— Tom
