If there’s anything we love about our kids, it has to be their boundless imaginations. There’s a magic age, perhaps between two and seven, when kids can get lost inside a made-up world for hours. Even in the age of video games, the natural imagination of children is still alive and well. You can leave a child in an office for five minutes, and they will have already constructed a carefully detailed fantasy, this skill is something many Hollywood writers can only envy! The little girl in this alleged “true story,” shared by a Reddit user named /u/antianchors, had quite an imagination when she saw him talking on the phone at the grocery store.
I was doing the grocery shopping for my grandmother a few nights ago, and I couldn’t remember which brand of cat food our cat ate, so I’m in the pet food aisle and I call her to ask.
At this moment, a mother and her daughter – maybe 4-5 years old – were walking through that same aisle.
I asked my grandmother over the phone, “Hey, it’s me. I’m just calling to ask you which cat food you wanted… she answers me … okay, I’ll get you some of that then. See ya!”
And as I hang up the phone, I realise that the little girl in the aisle is staring up at me with her mouth and eyes wide open. She has a hand on her mother’s sleeve, which she tugs excitedly.
“Mum! His cat can TALK!”
True story.
