Photo of a child facing away from the camera, standing on a scooter that has a pink basket on the front. Their long blond hair is in pigtails, and they are wearing a pink cowboy hat, blue jean jacket and pants, and blue sneakers.

Satchmo of course! 😀

It's also illegal in Canada to be a fortune-teller?! 🤨 #TIL

That being said, it is perfectly legal to practice real witchcraft.
