My son explained it to me in very simple terms, saying it was pretty much the same principal as what makes those trick pictures change back and forth when you hold them at this angle and then that. ....still no.I saw something about this on TV a few years ago....light bending. I didn't understand it and I still don't.

That is awesome!

Bending light is basically refraction.
Often when the wind is right and a breaking wave throws spray the individual drops of water create temporary rainbows one right after the other. It's beautiful.

Beams of light bend when their path moves from one medium to a denser medium......like outer space to an atmosphere or from air to water....if its path from one medium to the other is at an angle rather than perpendicular. It's a function of light's speed being ever so slightly slowed down.....one can slow light down (a little bit) although one cannot speed it up. The effect is called refraction. A perpendicular transit also slows a light beam down but doesn't bend its path.
Beams of light are also bent by the effect of the gravitational pull of a massive object.....or the bending of space-time by said massive object. An example would be the path of light from distant stars being altered as it passes by other stars or planets or anything else with mass.

Leprechauns can become invisible, but if you happen to see one, catch him quick and make him tell you where his Pot O' Coffee is hidden (they all have one...for some reason). If you take your eye off the Leprechaun for even a moment though, he'll vanish again and you'll almost certainly never find him.
