After a few days of snow, Gretchen thought it would be a good idea to show Piper another new Christmas tradition, and set about building her annual snowman with full witch regalia.
“Why does a snowman need a broomstick?”
“Well magic or no, you still need something to sweep the paths with.”
“It actually sweeps?”
“Only when you’re not looking. It might look small now, but after a few weeks it’ll look like a snow monster.”
“How does it work?”
“I’ve had that hat and cloak for as long as I can remember. It’s been handed down in the Murkwood family for generations. All I know is I don’t have to shovel snow when this guy is out in the yard. The broom can be any kind. But if it doesn’t have one, nothing happens.”
“You don’t even wonder how it works?”
“Kid, there’s something to be said for graciously accepting help from wherever it comes from. Particularly housework. You go asking too many questions and you risk upsetting the harmony of things.”
