Thinking in metaphor

After a conversation with our awesome atelierista, Anna, I decided to start appreciating when we humans think in metaphors. I've decided to start recording them.

I heard this one today while the children were working on writing non-fiction books about energy.

"The sun is pretty much a big, giant ball of hyperactive gas! I think it happens when the atoms and molecules go like crazy like...."
"Like they have fire ants in their pants."
"Like they are being chased by a crocodile."
"And they ate six pieces of cake."
"They need to use the bathroom."
"And they ate hot chili peppers!"
