Sounds like my 5-year-old niece. When asked what kind of car she was going to drive when she grew up, she said “A Minotaur.” And she knew what a minotaur is. What are they reaching in kindergarten these days?
Alice, umm, has a vivid imagination.Still, I would like to do a line-by-line comparison of her versions and the originals of Alice in Wonderland and Winnie the Pooh, two of my favorite reads as an adult (sort of adult; I don’t think I ever really grew up, just got older….)
(Been on the road most of the day.) 1. When I reread Alice in Wonderland as an adult, I went “wooo-EEEE!” There was Freudian stuff all over the place! I mean, the lizard, whatever his name was, coming down the chimney? And on and on. 2. I have it on authority, straight from my series of daydreams when I was around twelve, entitled, The Ruby of the Pearl of the Orient, that the villain (who was dressed like a WW I pilot, ear flaps and all, took the hero way out into a desert in a helicopter, and then dumped him.

…added a rabies subplot to “Winnie the Pooh.” Okay, I would pay for that book, and pay again to see the movie!

What’s funny is that the real “Alice” isn’t any zanier, just different.
