I was bored. I sat on the sofa eating popcorn and looking for something 1 on TV. I stopped to watch a show: a boy about my age was hypnotizing(催眠)a man and having him do all the funny things. 2 , I came up with a plan. “I bet I could do that,” I thought.
I jumped up and raced to the dining room to get some string and a spoon. I tied the string to the spoon. OK! I was 3 . I couldn’t wait.
I walked into the 4 , where my mom was preparing dinner. I asked Mom if she wanted to be hypnotized. Of course, my mom 5 .
As I started to swing the 6 slowly in front of my mom’s face, I said, “You are getting sleepy, you are getting very sleepy.”
After 7 it a few times, I told her that when I counted to three, she would become Elvis, a pop singer. I counted, and at that very moment, Mom started to 8 . I could hardly believe that I was able to hypnotize Mom on my 9 try. I was excited. This was soooo cool! After a while, I decided that it was time to 10 Mom. I could hardly wait to see Mom’s reaction(反应)when I told her 11 we did it!
“When I clap my hands three times, you’ll be back to your usual self,” I said confidently. I clapped loudly as I counted the numbers, 12 Mom continued singing as if nothing had happened. What was wrong? I started to feel 13 . I didn’t know what to do. It looked so easy on TV. I started to 14 . Just then, my mom realized I didn’t know 15 had only been pretending(假装)to be hypnotized. She stopped and hugged me.
To this day, Mom and I still laugh about the day I hypnotized her.
