      The capability for children to immerse themselves in a fantasy world and act is astounding, this is absolutely believable to anyone who has ever had a child

      Frankly we ought to get some toddlers in the writing room for some movies, we’ll get some really well thought out nonsense

        Our daughter is just 2 years 3 months old and she is already singing made up melodies and lyrics. A couple of days back she made up a song about new bushes (whatever that is). Her friend (3,5 years) jammed with her dad on a keyboard and started singing very creepily “it sat for five minutes, sat for five minutes, sat for five minutes, and then it died”.

        What I love most about what kids say in these young years is that it is so freaking random. As a teen I loved dadaism and absurd theater and all this random stuff coming out of toddlers is absolutely golden. It sounds like a Merz poem at times. I can absolutely imagine a four year old telling a story about a cleaning lady with 5 kids and a husband.

        This was the basis for the webcomic Axe Cop. It was started back in 2009 by the Nicolle brothers. Malachi (who was 5 at the time) thought up the story, while his brother Ethan (who was 28) drew them into comics.
