My favorite analogy is when a child tells his parents that he wants to be a pirate. The parents have two options, laugh it off and wait for the child to grow out of it, or have an eye taken out and remove a foot and a hand to replace them with a pegleg and a hook.
My kid wanted to be a dog. She was about 8. She would crawl around on the floor and act like a dog, pant and carry toys and lap up her food at the table. This went on for about a week, and then guess what. SHE STOPPED. This is what kids do, they are kids.
