What goes on in those squishy little heads, anyway?

rachelmanija ponders Melanie Klein's theory of infant development:

I mean, it could be true. It could also be true that infants all believe that they are dragons until age six months, at which point they are so traumatized by the realization that they can't breathe fire that they traumatically forget it.

QWP. Context is locked.

This explains why I stopped screaming all the time at six months.....

Well, that would explain Stormageddon, The Dark Lord of All, from that Dr. Who episode!

Wait, you mean the infants in your families can't breathe fire? Where's the challenge in that? ;-)

That is so awesome.

Considering one of my sibs spent a couple years cheerfully being a bulldozer, and the jury's still out on any/all of us actually being aliens—

I'd buy the dragons thing. xDDD

Seems legit.
