What about--?

(Church nap)

For the past 6 months or so, Lars has been really into hypotheticals (as we have dubbed them). He's very curious about "what would happen if... [whatever scenario]." But instead of saying "what if" he says "what about." Some are more plausible than others.

He spouts these off all the time but I only have a few written down. Behold the mind of Lars...

-"What about all the cars in the world didn't work and the kids could cross the street by their self?"

-"What about a kid was a girl and grew up to be a man?"

-"What about a plane didn't have seat belts and the plane flew upside down and all the people fell out?"

-"What about Santa didn't come at night?"

-"What about there was a girl named April and her birthday was in April?"

-"What about snow goed up, not down?"

-"What about the moon was the sun and the sun was the moon?"

(Which reminds me of an old favorite Ida quote when she was about the same age as Lars is now: "What if we could put the moon in a bag and carry it down to earth? We could use it as a doormat. But we'd have to tape it down so it doesn't float back up to the sky.")

What about a nice little nap in church?? (I'd like that one!!)

I rarely comment on blogs anymore, but this just made my morning. It's so fun to see how kids try to make sense of the world. A lot more creatively than adults, that's for sure (the moon as a doormat--that is a classic).
