Pretty talented huh? Who needs to leave their mom and go off to kindergarten when he can already defy gravity? I think he should just stay home with me!
This is a good community outreach from the University of Maryland

"Where's my Eraser, Bud?"
When a pencil is placed behind a glass of water, the end of eraser disappears. However, the eraser is visible on the opposite side of the glass. The pencil appears to be severed where it meets the glass. This optic phenomena is due to the glass of water behaving like a converging lens. The image produced is real, inverted, and has a magnification greater than one. The eraser appears to be stretched. This is due to the round shape of the glass, which allows the water to take a convex shape. The law of refraction is obeyed because when light enters a material, the water glass which has a greater index of refraction than air, the speed of light is slowed. Because of the this, the light rays are bent, causing the inverted, magnified eraser.
