I'm sure you all have heard the phrase "catch your breath." During recess today, a five year old gave me the most unique translation of this phrase. Read carefully, it will give you new insight in how to exactly do it.
Hi Miss Molly, I’m out of breath.
Oh no! What are you going to do?
Catch it.
And how do you do that?
By running as fast as the boy in the Incredibles.
Isn’t that how you lost it?
Yep! But now I have to go catch my run. See ya!
[comes back all out of breath] Miss Molly, I caught it again!
And what exactly did you catch?
My breath, silly!
I love this age. I am amused by the many things they take literally. The phrases like "catching" your breath throws them off, and makes me wonder who was the crazy person to come up with it in the first place. I bet you didn't think that catching your breath could be so exhausting!
