Offerings

The most magical items in Daniel's world these days are the TV and the potty. I've noticed that he frequently brings offerings to each - especially in the morning. Before Pappy Craig brought the new TV with power button on top, Daniel would bring a toy, toothpaste tube, card, or other easy to carry item to the TV before turning it on.

The toilet receives a slightly more intricate ritual. Before approaching the toilet, Daniel will make the toilet "sign" (waving his hand up and down). Usually, the toilet "sign" is accompanied by a raspberry noise that sounds sort of like flushing. Then, he'll lay the book or remote or whatever he's brought on the lid. Once the offering is presented, he's free to try flushing.
