The other day I was doing music & movement with one of my preschool music classes. I love to sing a song called “Why Witch?” I did not write this particular song, but I enjoy singing it to the children. Before I sing the song I always ask them, “Why do you think witches fly on brooms when they could simply drive in a car?”
The responses I get are very interesting and quite funny. This time a little 3-year-old raised her hand and responded to my question with, “Witches fly on brooms because their hats won’t fit into the car.” The little boy sitting beside her piped up and said, “Well, that is no problem. Just cut a hole in the roof!”
I burst out laughing! I must admit–whenever I have dressed up like a witch for Halloween, my witch hat simply does NOT fit in the car! I have to take it off! Since I don’t want to cut a hole in the roof of my car, anybody got a broom?
Pretty smart 3-year-olds if you ask me!
