"If you need me," said my 7 year old son, "I'll be in my mind."
Definitely better in it than out of it
Sounds like a topic over which reasonable people may differ.
Whoops, didn’t realize this was 10 months old. Thanks, reskeets.
When my daughter was 2 she came running out of her room and said “Dad, I’m trapped.” I laughed and asked where she was trapped. “Behind my eyes” she said. 😳
Well that’s pretty accurate 🤷♀️
Creepy… But accurate.
That's unironically a great description for closing your eyes, as creepy as it seems at first glance. Children are smarter and more creative than we give them credit to!
“It’s bigger on the inside!”
wait - we're allowed to say that?
Man I wish I was Neil Gaiman's son.
Your son is Calvin from Calvin & Hobbes?!
(Also, absolutely marvellous!)
I love knowing that legendary writer Neil Gaiman has a son of the same age and weirdness that I do.
A boy after my heart. Imaginative introverts unite! 💖
“Thank you for your email. I am currently in my mind and not checking email regularly.”
And so we descend into Piranesi.
I remember clearly – really, the feeling of the moment itself – realizing as a young boy that my mind was all mine. I could do anything, visit anywhere, construct anything, be anything within it, and that it was always with me.
Be happy he is not out of his mind.
You’re son sounds awesome and knows what’s up.
Totally takes after you on this.
What a delightful place to be.
do grown ups have mind palaces and children have mind cubby houses? who has castles in the sky?
Are you sure that's not Bishop Berkeley's son? Or the Buddha's?
I hope is a wondrous place.
OMG
What a mind to know....
Curious
Wow
He's already one with his thoughts
Awesome
Amazing thought there. Many adults would have no idea what that means.
Is he ever out of his mind? 🤔
Love that. I spend a lot of time in mine, too.
"Alright... well... you keep down in there." *awkward*
No Maury Povich DNA test needed. You ARE the father. ha!
He’s roasting you for not having a Mind Palace
