I picked him up after school and as we were driving away I asked how school was. He told me that he thinks leprechauns might be real. I asked what made him think they might be and he gave me the "we left class and when we came back there was chocolate on our desks" answer. I asked him if something else could have happened, like a teacher leaving them, and he said no, because the door is locked when they leave. I told him "maybe it was a rainbow unicorn who left the chocolate." His response was very dismissive. He said "no Dad, that's impossible because rainbow unicorns don't exist." He's a sharp kid but he's not quite at the logic stage. :) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [โ] birdcat@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 years ago leprechauns Kids brains are funny.
