Creative Monsters
The innocence and creativity of children can often lead to unexpected and delightful moments. Whether it’s a hilarious mispronunciation or an unexpected response, kids have a way of keeping us on our toes and surprising us with their unique perspectives. Recently, a teacher was grading a fill-in-the-blanks statement about Washington’s army when they came across an answer that was definitely not what they were expecting – “Godzilla.”
While it’s safe to say that the legendary monster had no bearing on the American Revolution, the unexpected response certainly caught the teacher’s attention. As one commenter noted, some teachers might even award partial credit for answers that are “not wrong,” and in this case, it’s hard to argue that the answer was incorrect. Moreover, the response is so out-of-the-box that it deserves some recognition for its creativity and humor. It’s just one example of the ways in which children can surprise and delight us with their unique perspectives and fresh takes on the world around us.
