For some reason, my 6 year old uses a pickle as her standard unit of measurement. Even for things that aren't pickle-based. Wow, she's quicker than a pickle! He's stronger than a pickle! Gotta be smarter than a pickle! Is there a sentient pickle hero I don't know about?

Pickles are good and excellent and we should all aspire to be so.

I love that kids, at any point, will just start up a bit and keep it going.

A pickle is a superhero banana that was exposed to gamma radiation in a lab accident. Now it has the power to provide more than just scale.

Why haven’t we all been saying those?

Without a doubt your six-year-old has a secret identity.

You know what they say, keep your friends close and your pickles closer, gotta keep your pickle dry, make pickles when the sun is shining, know they pickle, etc

Literally no different to an inch being based on the width of two acorns side by side. It is incredibly interesting how she’s implemented a time measurement into it. That’s essentially the definition of a metre. Holy crap, that is one sentient 6 year old.

Blueys are a measurement of time in our household. "We'll be at the restaurant in 3 Blueys."

Since there are recipes for quick pickles, and since pickles taste strong, I think it makes sense.

When my son was 4 or 5, he would ask me many "Who would win?" questions. One of them was "Who would win, a 5 inch alive pickle, or two grasshoppers?" The parenting books are no help for this

Seems your kid is in a bit of a pickle. I bet they'll be out of it in a pickle.

Is this pickle dill or sweet? Kosher or not? Whole or sliced? Gotta know!

Dunno about sentient pickles, but those are pretty good burns for future use.

for a while my niece measured the world in things that bathe and things that don't bathe. there was a year or so where she was very hard to convince that cell phones don't bathe, especially not in the toilet. this was before waterproof cell phones were invented.

Snagging this concept for possible later use, if you don't mind.

She really put you in a pickle! Now, seriously, my theory is that she heard it in some metaphorical context (like my opening sentence), fell in love with it, and she's just expanding on the perceived meaning.

Pickle Rick? (Rick and Morty)

I think Larry in Veggie Tales is a pickle, but I could be wrong.

Not sure, but that’s really funny. 😄

Next step, a pickle-based economy.

Have they been listening to The Humpty Dance? "My nose is big, uh-uh I'm not ashamed. Big like a pickle, I'm still gettin' paid..."
