That kid of mine... the one about to turn 5. I love the way his mind works. I love his intense drawings, and his even more intense "technical" descriptions of his work.
This is from last night. He wanted a sheet of my robot note paper. He asked to use the special markers. And he drew a spaceship. In immense detail. Afterwards, when he began telling me about it, he wanted me to write down descriptions of every part. SO I did. Frantic scribbling of words, trying to get as much of what was coming out of his mouth and mind onto paper as I could. It was intense. It was a pure delight. What follows: the drawing, then his descriptors, as best as I could transcribe them. All "typos" are his vocabulary, his brainworks. I cherish every word.

AUTOBOT SHIP by Noah
A. Escape
Pod: We escape and look out the windows to watch the explosion. We go and
get to the planet we’re supposed to go.
B. Super
Visor Weapon: More powerful than the claw.
C. Ship
Lungs: The lungs replace special air because we have a speaker. The speaker
revides and we speak into it and the ship repeats what we say.
D. Rocket
Missiles: The rocket missiles repive only for two ships. They either have
to be two Autobots or two Decepticons. Revide all the parts of your science.
Make sure that you make more parts of the ship that you replace with more
science.
E. Lab:
The lab refaces science and all of it makes sure we have remain.
F. The
Signal: Revides solar from the space and the moon. Helps us get power to
make it go even faster. And helps it to get more powerful.
G. (2205)
The Room: Has four different sides that tell you you get to go in each
place. You get to go in a tunnel to get somewhere. But you have to pay a secret
passage word.
H. Candy
Machine: Revides other stuff that was garbage and almost token out to space
and the machine revides all that trash and puts it into the machine and it
blends it up into candy and out it comes into the signal maker.
I. Signal
Maker: Digs the candy from the candy machine and then another machine comes
and takes the candy. It goes out into the ship and delivers it to each ship.
J. The Claw:
Usually takes evil ships into an evil trash machine and crunches it up. The
evil ship turns into garbage and smells stinky just like a skunk.
K. Headlights:
The headlights make sure the headlight
revides signal-power.
L. Maker
Trash: All the trash goes out of the ship and into space. The trash ship
replaces it into the back trunk. Then they have a garbage can. The Martians
take it into their home and eat it up.
M. Panel: Revides
all the signals from the ship into different kinds of ships. The ships come
together into the main ship and it makes a fat ship!
N. Reventual
Signals: Revide all the signals from the ship and revider 2.0 signals. Revide
all the parts and all the signals come into the part.
O. Side
Ship: Revides robots into the ship and drives them to a different planet.
I don't know what it means, but revides will be in the dictionary one day, that is my prediction. I love it.
ReplyDeleteMagnificent! I'm with you... every word is a jewel ;)
ReplyDeleteI think we have the same kid! :) All I know is Ben can never see this post because he'll make me read it to him 5024 times in a row.
ReplyDeleteThat is incredible. I can't wait for that age. That is the kind of creativity that he wouldn't have if you let him watch TV and play video games all day. Kudos to you, Mom.
ReplyDeleteI love that kid! Can it be Christmas now? Because then that would mean I would get to see him! Guess I'll just have to revel in the anticipation!
