Levetating (which I am probably misspelling)

Today I took the kids to the park after I worked and they got out of school. M kept talking about how he could levitate something. He learned this from a friend at school. Talking and talking about it and showing me but I wasn't seeing anything. So the kids are playing at the park and my friend and I are walking our 30min walk and I see the craziest thing....there is a leaf hanging like it is levetating from the tree. I mean seriously it looks like it is just floating there. So I get closer and it is hanging in the air by a spider web. So I put my hands under it and I yell for the kids to come see me levetating this leaf. So they come running and they are freaking out wondering how I am doing it. To make it funnier the wind is moving the spider web around so it is spinning the leaf midair. And they are yelling , "how are you doing that?" And my friend is just playing right along with it untill my curiously smart son gets close enough to see how I am doing it and sees the spider web hanging like a string and he says, "I see the string! I knew you weren't really doing it!"
