Emma: (pounds on Carina and Mike's bedroom door) Mommy, wake uuuuuuuup!
Carina: (puts pillow back on head and rolls over)
Emma: (continues to pound on the door and then suddenly just...stops)
Carina: (sits up, listening intently because a quiet child is a trouble-making child)
Emma: (stops banging on the door, but seems to be mumbling something quietly)
Carina: (opens the door and looks down at Emma)
Emma: It worked!
Carina: What worked?
Emma: My magic word!
Carina: What magic word? Huh?
Emma: My magic word to wake you up!
Carina: What word is that?
Emma: Thenzer!
Carina: Thenzer.
Emma: (while waving her arms dramatically) Theeeeeeennnnnnnzzzzzzeeeeeeerrrr
I don't think this diminishes your feeling that trouble was afoot. She's a handful already without knowing magic! ;)
