Your Codebank Invitation!
I'm inviting you to join the Codebank right now! It's filled with complete scripts, tools, code, tutorials, and programmers and designers to help you.
My daughter (4) is convinced that we are her “new” parents and that she had “old” parents who died.
No amount of reasoning with her seems to correct this. I’ve shown her pictures of me holding her in the hospital after she was born, pictures of her in mommies belly, etc…
So no big deal – we get a story about once per day about something she did with her old parents before she came to live with us. Been going on for months and months.
I just sent her to time out.
Went in her room to let her out because she was for a change not hollering if she was allowed out.
Found her packing her bags.
Her plan:
I’m going to the “dead yard” (a graveyard) to live with my old parents.
My plan:
O.K. I’ll drive you (stop this morbid dead parent thing).
So I take her to the graveyard and ask here what tombstone they are in. She says none of them – this isn’t the right dead yard. So we go to the old one near our old house.
Turns out her parents were Henry and Martha and they died back in the 1920′s.
I suppose I’ll go back and pick her up tomorrow 
If you enjoyed this article, please consider sharing it!
If I believed in it – I’d suspect maybe your daughter was reincarnated and lived a previous life as Henry & Martha’s daughter (or son).
On a lark, you could do some digging around – NOT in the graveyard (LOL) – if your daughter ever says anything that could be traced or confirmed through a bit of research. Fortunately the turn of the century isn’t TOO long ago… definitely easier than if she was claiming to be Cleopatra. ha.
Certainly it’s just her being imaginative (nothing wrong with that), but it would make a heck of a blog post if she ever says something specific that you ended up discovering was based on actual events from the early 1900s! *grin*
ie. Pulled from a random page about reincarnation:
CHILDREN WITH ADULT MEMORIES
Children who claim to remember a previous life have been found in many parts of the world, particularly in areas where the concept of reincarnation is accepted “as in the Buddhist and Hindu countries of South Asia”.
There are also cases “among the Shiite peoples of Lebanon and Turkey, the tribes of West Africa, and the American Northwest. Stevenson has collected over 2,600 reported cases of past life memories of which 65 detailed reports have been published.
Specific information from the children’s memories has been collected and matched with the data of their former identity, family, residence, and manner of death.”
Hey I’ve got an open mind. Who knows right?
She’s a bright kid with a VERY active imagination warped by having older brothers.
For example she runs around being a pretty pink rainbow princess trying not to get her brain drunk by the zombies
Then she will sing you an hour long song about her adventure.
1. Get her on video camera.
2. Post it on Youtube.
3. ?????
4. Profit
Actually, step 3 would be along the lines of “David at the dentist” where his father has been selling T-shirts etc after that video went viral.
Also cute was that young girl describing Star Wars (“The shiny guy always worries…” LOL re: C3PO).

Harder to capitalize on something directly related to Star Wars, but where there’s a will there’s a way.
Good luck with the reincarnation stuff.
Steve – I make a nice monthly income from lego’s
I think I could monetize star wars that way!
Hehe – not putting her on camera though. When she runs for president I don’t want her youtube vids about her old parents and zombie brain suckers out there.
