Little A, in the washroom at the local park, while drying her hands under the hot air dryer and gazing contemplatively at the trash can next to it: “You know, if I could just divert this air flow over *there*, I could make the perfect weapon…”

Me: “Really? How would you do that?”

Little A: “Well, I would use the flow of hot air to push a car, which would go down a ramp, and hit a lever at the bottom that would spin a sort of triangle thing, which would make some TNT explode, and that would knock over a stand which would make a gun fire which would set off an even BIGGER block of TNT!”

I think there may even have been a few more steps in there that I’ve forgotten – I kept trying to type it into my phone for a while after she said it, while she and Little D were playing at the playground, but I never got more than a few words written before one or the other of them needed my attention, so I had to reconstruct it about six hours later…. Anyway, I continue to be amazed (and sometimes a little disturbed!) by the way her mind works…
