Even wizards need to be polite

Friday supper. At the picnic table.

Henry: (pointing his spoon at various family members) Stupify! Stupify!

Family: Munch munch munch.

Henry: (pointing his spoon at his plate) Wingardium leviosa!

Family: Munch munch munch

Henry: (pointing his spoon at Jane) Avada kedavra!

Me:
You know the rule. No unforgivable curses at the table. Please eat your supper.

He shows genuine remorse.

Henry: Sorry, Dad.

He tucks in to the business of eating. He notices his potatoes could use some condiment.

Henry: Accio ketchup!

Me:
Henry!

Henry: Sorry. Accio ketchup, please.
