#44: I Never Came Back

We all know kids say the darndest things, and I wonder if we’ll ever be able to explain how they come up with those things. They have the wildest imagination. The spooky thing is, that’s not how they see it. They don’t see it as imaginary tales but the reality. They honestly believe the things that they say.

Maybe they repeat things they hear adults around them say? Maybe they repeat things they hear on TV and movies? Sure. But that still doesn’t explain what this kid said, for example: “When I was a grownup, I went to war, and I never came back.” It’d be pretty alarming to hear your kid say something like that!
