Each day, my daughter engages in some kind of imaginative play that leaves me wondering, “Where did that come from?”
It’s probably naive to think that I could find the source of every wackadoodle game she comes up with, but I’ve had too many epiphanies when catching a cartoon snippet or reading a book to her at night when I realize, “Oh! That’s where that came from!”
My reverse-engineering machine is running on overdrive today since my daughter just conducted a “brain test” on me. This test involved setting up an appointment, lying down on a pillow, getting put to sleep, having my brain scanned for food and exercise, and then having better “thoughts” inserted to replace bad ones (in this case, vegetables for peanut butter & jelly sandwiches). I’m not sure where her inspiration came from since she was talking about dachshunds on the way home this afternoon.
I hate to be paranoid about “mind control” lessons and school, but today’s “brain test” has left me with more than vegetables on my mind.
