Preschooler Musings

Me: Use your imagination!

Elias: How do I imagine?

Me: You use your mind...anything you can think of.

Elias: How do I get into my mind?

Elias got snowed in at G&G’s for a few very fun days. 





He’s been very focused on making “hammocks”. 

E: is trump at the White House?

Me: no. He moved out. Biden lives there now. 

E: where did he move?

Me: Florida. 

E: Biden is the oldest president in the White House. 

Me: you’re right. 

E: he’s really old. What if he dies?

Me: who becomes president if the president dies?

Lewis: daddy. 

E: then we could all move into the White House!

Me: who becomes president if the president can’t be the president anymore?

E: I don’t know. 

Me: the Vice President. Who is the Vice President?

E: Kamala Harris. 

Me: yes. She would be president for the rest of Biden’s turn. 

E: so when do people usually go blind?

Me: most people can see their whole lives. 

E: so that would be, like, two dentist appointments?

Me: um, what?

E: {thinking}

Me: what do you mean?

E: yeah. I guess it could just be one.  

Me: one what?

E: dentist appointment

Me: um, ok.
