Paradigm: Magic !!

A few days ago I read this guy’s blog. His name I do not know. Blog post was named Rainbows. And this post got me thinking. This guy had sort of persuaded dying embers into crackling a slow fire to warm up the mind.

The post he wrote dealt with how beautiful an imagination was back when we did not know any better.

He goes on a limb to describe how amazing a rainbow is, magical even, if you totally ignore the fact that it’s a physics phenomenon of nature’s rainy summer days.

So I just thought, why just rainbows.

The entire world always looks so much nicer when you throw logic out of the window and look through 5 or 7 year old eyes.

For the rest of this post, I don’t want you pointing out the logical fallacies of my words. I hereby acknowledge that there is going to be none, so don’t bother.

1. The earth is Flat. No Spanish moron’s ship is going to sail down the horizon with its flag slowly dropping lower and lower until it disappears. My guess is that the monsters at the end of the earth are slowly gobbling them up.

6. Flowers are pretty “things”. Not organs of plants’ procreation.

10. Thunderstorms are scary. Hugging a grown up or your friend during a loud thunder roar is perfectly normal, adults don’t do it coz they are silly.
11. Ghosts exist. Period.
12. Table manners are over rated. The messier the meal, the fuller the tummy. The back of your hand is more efficient in wiping your mouth than any napkin in the world.

24. If you are 6 and a half now, and I am 5, I firmly believe that next year I will be able to overtake you.
25. "Tag….You’re it" & "Beat You to it...." Coz everything's a race, from drinking milk (bleh) to getting dressed to running from point xyz to finish line, i.e. Mom.
26. Silly rhymes about colors are good jokes. Blue Blue, You ate Glue
27. “Are we there yet? Are we there yet?” is a perfectly sensible question. “We’ll get there when we get there.” Is a Stupid anser
28. Stupid is a bad word.

40. “Mom I want a snack”. “A Fruit?” “HUHH???”. “Almonds?” “HUHHHHHH??” “CHIPS??” “Chilli Tomato Flavor Please”
41. If your parents don’t buy you what you want, they don’t love you. (This usually lasts for 5 minutes or a few days, depending on how stubborn you are)
42. All stories Grandma tells are true, the morals are something she makes up though.
