When they visited over the summer, we put on a teeny snippet of Midsummer Night's Dream, so that they could take part as fairies (well, technically speaking: a fairy and a Spiderman, who was disguised in Thomas the Tank Engine gear). I basically napped, woke up, and called the fairies out. Then we all took our bows, to rapturous applause.
The expression on my niece's face is priceless: waiting for her cue, her little fairy wings quivering with anticipation...
Can you imagine how exciting Day One of School must have been :-)

I always thought that the guys who wrote Monsters Inc were on to something. Imagine harnessing all that excitement and energy as a power source? And having met the particular neice and nephew, I suspect that a certain family would be generating enough power to have OPEC worried!
When we were kids, we joked about tying a teatowel to the ever-wagging tail of our springer spaniel, but this would be something more subtle I imagine: blue tooth tech, perhaps triggered by seratonin levels, hmm... we may need to prove String Theory in order to tap into the right reality, but this has possibilities.
