I asked a group of 6 year olds if they wanted to get something off their chest.
They did.
A THREAD

Rory - 'Loud noises are too loud'

I actually have to agree with Rory. Loud noise, especially unwelcome ones are too loud. Car alarms are obnoxious. Motorbikes hurt my ears. He personally doesn't like sound of thunder. Which I think is a brave thing to express. Thanks Rory.

JJ - 'Pizza isn't very nice'

There was a silence in the room. Like the last shot fired at Starlingrad. A strange stillness fell before the group. Nobody really knew how to react. It's an opinion. Certainly an unpopular one. JJ is no sheep. He knows who he is and what he wants.

Laura - 'Whenever I have dinner I give my dog green beans'

Classic kid move. What's funny is Laura thinks she's invented this. I remember a boy at my school claiming he invented whistling. We believed him. So they believed Laura. She should eat her greens though.

Joe - 'I like the Cinema'

Yep, fair enough Joe. I like the Cinema too. It's something he's passionate about and he wanted to let people know. His favourite film is "Dragon film" whatever that is, and he loves popcorn. I only wish I could be this content with my life. Thanks Joe

Belle - 'We only have 8 fingers because thumbs aren't fingers. They're thumbs'

I did know this but I had to act surprised. Children are curious creatures and need to discover things on their own. You could see the pride glowing from her smile. Nobel peace prize incoming soon.

Mo - 'Dance Monkey is my favourite song'

It's now widely considered that Dance Monkey is a terrible song. I have a confession to make. I side with Mo. It's not my favourite buy I enjoy it. Perhaps it's just Stockholm Syndrome. Mo loves to dance and this song gives him vibes.

Sam - 'A Stegosaurus has four spikes on its tail'

Correct. The official name for this is a Thagomizer. It's believed to be used to defend against predators. The word Thagomizer was actually invented as joke but now it's officially used. It's not all laughs, sometimes we learn.

Lola - 'My Daddy says little Sister has a head like a traffic cone'

I sprayed my tea absolutely everywhere. That is hilarious. I'm now completely fixated with the cone headed baby. I love when parents can make fun of their children. They're just as silly as we are. Lola is fun

Zahra - 'Have you played frisbee. It's when you have a plastic thing and throw at people'

I'm not sure Zahra listen to all of the rules here. You're definitely not supposed to throw it AT people. I'm worried she sees frisbee as her own personal coconut shy. Knocking heads off.

My quote of the week this week comes from April aged 4 - "You can only do a handstand if you fall down before it"
