Some quotes from my five year old daughter, who is the most extra and most slytherin person I know. (And I love her for it.) She makes me laugh and feel deeply concerned every day. 😂
R=5yo, J=7yo
R: Oh no! The Night Witches are coming to steal my grape!
J: Hold on, I’ll activate invisibility! *makes shooting sounds* Ufda. Looks like it’s time for boomerangs.
R: I can be a boomerang! *bounces out of their fort making rubber band noises and runs around the room*
R, playing with puppets at the library: This is a king, and he said “hey, where’s my princess?!” But the princess liked living on her own so she wasn’t there and could take care of herself. So the king threw a tantrum and then he was dead.
This was before I read The Enchanted Forest chronicles and the Paper Bag Princess to her.
R, carefully drawing designs on her arms and legs: Hold on, J. I have to do something weird to give me power first.
……all I can say is she’s probably going to really love books with magic systems.
