The Imagination of a 5 Year Old

This week Liam has been periodically telling us little details of his alien life while driving to and from school. It started with my mom on Monday. On Tuesday night she asked me if Liam told me about how he's an alien. He had. Here's what mom and I have pieced together.

Liam is a good alien, but there are bad aliens on his planet. They all had to leave their planet. I think because the bad aliens took over. He was on the Moon for 60 days before he came to Earth. He decided to be born to me. His face is just a mask. I asked him what his alien face looks like and he said matter of fact, "I don't know. I've never seen it, mom." (like I'm the biggest idiot in the world for asking that question.)

He's gone into great detail about how long he was on the Moon and stuff, but of course I can't remember everything now. I do good to ask an intelligent question during rush hour and while Brianna is trying to talk over him. But I thought this was funny, creative enough to share.

Maybe he'll be a writer some day.

Definitley creative! I wish I still had an imagination like that! Maybe an alien will be next Halloween's costume...
