After watching the movie Toy Story my son asked me if at night the dolls and toys in general came to life. I asked "I don't know, what do you think?" and there began a conversation in which I said things like "let's see, I do not hear them, but go to know" and he kept thinking that it could not be, with the doubt of whether it could be.
These thoughts, probably loaded with scenes imagined with their toys, recreating adventures lived only by them, are part of the magic of children's creativity. This is what the parents of some children who, driven by the desire to surprise them and the desire to ensure they did not lose their creativity, decided to show them that their plastic dinosaurs come alive at night.
On the first night the dinosaurs dedicated themselves to opening, destroying and playing with a box of cereals. The next morning they got involved with the fruit and began to be less careful about "leaving no trace that we have passed through here." Thus, for several nights, the dinosaurs did theirs for the house and their parents explained the reasons like this:
In the era of iPad and Netflix we do not want our children to lose their capacity for wonder and imagination. All we need is a little energy, time, creativity and some plastic dinosaurs. Childhood is fleeting, so let's make sure it's fun while it lasts.
Then I leave you with the complete sequence, which has no waste:
On the website where I found the comments are very varied, from people who love history to people who think that children may have nightmares if we do this or that they will be angry when they find out what the truth is. I also don't like to fool children too much, honestly, but I don't see this for so long because children know that their dinosaurs are made of plastic and, according to age, they are clear that it is difficult to happen. Until that age, you play a little with the doubt ... they say it can't be, that you have done it, and you answer that "no, impossible, I was sleeping", with that face that betrays the "yes, of course It was me… ". It's one more game, it's fun, and although I don't think I do, I remind you that in your day I did something similar with a sweet potato, so yes, in this case I join the car of those who have enjoyed seeing the destruction of the fearsome plastic dinosaurs.
