Silimar, I had a teacher ask us to write down the first animal that came to mind and I wrote, "wolf spider" because to an 8 year old, there are few more bad ass sounding animals.

She said "really? That's the First animal you think of?" Eye roll

Me: looks down at doodles of giant spiders battling tanks that shoot lightning, "it's the only animal I'm thinking of right now..."

    I guess compared to the other examples at least she didn't try and persuade you it wasn't an animal, just a bit crap at embracing a child's natural enthusiasm and kind of immediately killing their sense of enquiry by making it in to an experience of being judged.
