My favorite candy is Dove dark chocolates. If you're not aware, the wrappers they come in have little sayings inside. Well, I've eaten these for years and haven't read those little wrappers for over a year or more until last night. Why? I don't know but something told me to read the wrapper as I went to throw it in the garbage. It was a strong feeling so I couldn't resist to see what the wrapper said. It stated: "Everyone has a happy ending. If you're not happy, it's not the end." I was surprised and found it fitting for our current times :).
On another note, in January, my 4 year old grandson out of the blue stated: "You know why people don't want Biden as president?" Parents: "Why?" Grandson: " Because he wants to steal peoples souls." My daughter and son-in-law were shocked and surprised to hear this. They have never said anything to him or talked about Biden in any context to what he had stated. We discussed who he could have heard this from. Asked other family members, grandparents mainly because that is who he is around the most and none of us had. The context of his statement is bewildering and yet true as we all know.
While we are looking at the big picture, keep your eyes and ears open for the little messages given to us on any given day. :)
You should engage with him and say something like "Wow, thats very interesting. How did you know this?" and see what he says
They asked him where he had heard that. He said 'Mom said it'. My daughter was shocked as she had never stated anything like that. She corrected him and told him she had not. I also can attest that my daughter would never state anything like that in those words and she is very particular to what is said in front of the kids. So whether he had dreamt it or whatever but we are still not sure how it came about. For reference, he is a very smart kid for his age and this isn't the first time he has bewildered us with his knowledge and or statements. At 2 he was aware of many different types of colors and also shapes (like cyan, hexagon etc) not your basic colors/shapes at that age, that even I had to look up to see if he was correct lol.
There is another explanation. Your daughter might have thought about it (involuntarily) and he might have been able to hear her thoughts.
Some folks have a...my grandma always called it a "shine."
