inside the mind of a 6 year old

Zach has been cracking me up all day today

first there's the- " I think the peanut butter and jelly are friends- that's why they taste so good together."

Then there's this picture he drew in school of his family-

me- "Great job Zach. (noticing all 6 members of our family standing on the ground next to each other) Who is this person in the tree?"

Zach- "I don't know." (zach just informed me that it is his friend in the tree- but he still doesn't know who.)

Me- "Oh. Okay" (good thing our trees are puny, otherwise I'd be checking for unknown strangers in them)

Zach- pointing to the car in the bottom right corner- "That's our car right there."

Me- "Our car? Really? Good job."

Secretly I am wondering when I traded in this car-

For this one-

Me- "What's that up there behind the airplane?"

Zach- "That's a wagon to catch the people that fall out of the sky."

somedays I envy the uninhibited creativity of children. To him it's perfectly normal to have airplanes towing Radio Flyer's behind them to catch people. I however get hung up on why people would be falling out of the sky.
