Children are magical

Mind blowing conversation with Ellie (8 and a 1/2 years old) this morning:

Ellie: Jason came to see me yesterday

Me: Did he?

Ellie: Yes. He was a strange fly with a long body.

Me: With big wings?

Ellie: Yes.

Me: Any particular colour?

Ellie: Yes he was green

.Me: Sounds like a dragonfly to me.

Ellie: Yes he sat on my lunchbox for a bit and then flew off.

He can shape shift now, you know, mum. He can be whatever he wants to be, just like Maui from the film Moana.

Me: that’s amazing!…Speechless…Out of the mouths of babes… making sense of our magical world…
