Kindergarteners say some interesting things. The amount of times I had to “yup, okay, anyways this neat (redirection)” were daily. But you work with them long enough and you know their family secrets without asking for sure.
I know a 5 year old that came in proudly telling everyone, “When I grow up, I’m going to be a dwarf!” He then held his hand lower than his current height and said, “I’ll be this tall!” He’s short, sure, but he’s not in the little person height range.
I think somewhere between him talking about dwarf planets, and his short height, somebody probably said it as a joke and he took it seriously.
