I think kids just like doing things outside the house. As far as their practical minds, I think it’s an extension of us as parents. If we raise our kids to be short-sided with a diet of cartoons and deprivation of an education on our natural world then they will take on that “cartoon” persona but if we raise scientifically inquisitive minds at a young age by introducing them to stuff like nat-geo, Dinosaur books, etc. then they will reject the ruse of costume from the onset. My kids have always loved watching cartoons but they’ve also always known it was a cartoon. The really cool part is that they’re so into science stuff now that they’re teaching me things every week, just this morning I learned bats have.... in their words “special gates inside their blood so they don’t get dizzy when they’re upside down”.
Oh, we've definitely gotten into some abstract DMT level conversations, but at the time, he was excited to meet Daniel Tiger while we were heading down there. Then, he saw him and was like, "Oh, it's like that. Okay. Fuck it. Where are the elephants?"
