Once a kid said that he thought his dog could fly because it jumped really high. Another kid told me that his grandma was a superhero who could make cookies disappear in seconds. And there was a kid who believed that clouds were made of cotton candy and he wanted to climb up and eat them.
They often misinterpret things they see or hear. For example, if they hear an ambulance siren, they might think it's a big monster making that noise. And then they create a story around that misinterpretation. Also, kids are constantly exploring and learning, and part of that process is creating these wacky stories to make sense of the world around them.
A little girl told me that her teddy bear was a secret spy and it reported to her every night about what happened in the toy box. She was really serious when she said it, like it was an actual thing.
Once, a little kid saw a rainbow and said, 'Look, the sky is painting!' It was so cute as they really thought the sky was an artist creating that beautiful arc of colors.
A boy in my neighborhood saw a snail and told his dad, 'Dad, that house has a really slow car!' He thought the snail's shell was its house and the snail itself was like a really slow - moving vehicle. His imaginative comparison was quite funny. This shows how kids can create the most interesting analogies from the simplest things they observe.
Sure. There was a kid who told his mom that he couldn't go to bed because his teddy bear wasn't tired yet. He was so concerned about his teddy's feelings.
One funny thing a kid might say is 'I want to be a unicorn when I grow up so I can poop rainbows!' It's just so imaginative and out - of - this - world.
There was a kid in kindergarten. They had a show - and - tell about things they were thankful for. This kid brought in a broken toy and said, 'I'm thankful for this toy. It broke when my sister and I were fighting over it, but then we became friends again because we fixed it together.' It was both funny and sweet.
