none the wiser

Walking into the art supply store about an hour ago, I overheard a conversation between a mother and her young son.

The son was bragging. "Did you know I have a Harry Potter game? I can listen to all the spells they say and I can learn them and then I can cast spells too."

"You know that doesn't work right? We don't believe in that. Anyway, just because you say something out loud doesn't make it so," she told him.

Before he could counter, he sneezed.

"God bless you," said the mother, "now hurry up."
