Inside my kids' heads

IN the matter of 5 minutes today, Zachary shared the following thoughts with a friend who oicked him up from school:

1. "If you don't give me a snack today during rest time you'll be arrested."

2. "You have to be careful when you hold a rat because it's tail will wrap around your heart and suffocate you."

3. "I saw a train with people on it the other day. I saw a man pooping because there were no curtains."

None of these statements are even remotely true.

On my way home with Andrew I asked him what he was thinking about.

"A Patriot squishing a dolphin" (the Pats played the Dolphins last week and we kept saying "sqsuish the fish). But then he said:
"and before that I was thining about a whale eating a dolphin...wearing a helmet."
