Anybody with a kid, or anyone who knows a kid, will know that they've got pretty active imaginations. If you think about it, anyone who can turn Peppa Pig into an entertaining five minutes has got to have some kind of warped perspective on life. So you've gotta feel sorry for the parents, who are constantly putting up with outright fabrications and wild flights of fancy.
Or you've got to feel sorry for the kid when those flights of fancy turn out to be true. When a nine-year-old boy in the UK told his mom that there was a cheetah in the backyard, she thought he was off with the pixies again. That is, until she looked in the backyard and found a cheetah, which it turned out had escaped from a local animal sanctuary. How the police managed to catch it and get it back there is anyone's guess.
