Power of Observation

I've learned that as adults we take for granted things we see on a daily basis as perfectly 'normal' and don't think twice about how odd they must appear to children or if an alien race were to just come take a look around.

For example, we were in Kohl's yesterday shopping. Out of the blue, Alanna looked up at some mannequins and made this shocked *gasp* while exclaiming, "Who took their heads!!!???"

They were the stylistic body only mannequins and indeed they did not have heads. I had to explain to her that those types of mannequins/dollies were only for showing clothes and they didn't make them with heads.

I think in between her exclamation and my explanation though both the cashier who overheard and I nearly peed our pants laughing.
