I find it fascinating watching my little tribe use their imaginations, and how carried away they can get…
Today is a perfect illustration.
Little L discovered (imagined) that there was a rat living in her bedroom. He was a friendly cuddly rat though, and she was pretty sure he was living happily amongst her teddies and dolls.
Captain Jack and Flashdance became so caught up in the story, they ran off to get torches and ‘bait’ to catch the rat, so they could send the furry little fellow off to a more rat-friendly place. Which of course was a sewer.
