Amazing Things Kids Say About Past Lives!

1.     Was watching an old video of a jazz drummer playing a solo. No idea who it was but he was really good. My daughter, probably age three, was looking over my shoulder for minute before she said, “I used to play the drums like that when I was a man” Unfortunately she has no longer has any recollection of making that statement or playing drums. But she is a very musical person and I’m hoping she stays that way.

2.     When I was 4 my parents and I went to my aunt’s farm. The wind started picking up and I looked back at my parents and said “gotta tie the hay bale down in the wind. That’s how David died.” To this day no one knows who David is.

3.     My little brother said when he was 3 or 4: When I was a grown up, I went to war, and I never came back.

4.     My daughter asked me, “Remember my fancy hat,” and when I said no, she said, “Yeah, before I was dead, I used to work in a bank. I saved my money and bought a hat in a round box. I was on the bus and a man almost sat on it. Then the bus crashed, and I died.” She was about three and totally casual about it.

5.     My middle son used to talk about having a different mom before me. He would say she was blond and looked nice but wasn’t nice. He would bring it up randomly and only ever got a bit emotional when he would tell me that when he was with her, he never got to grow up. He said he chose me to be his mom this time because I would let him grow up and get old. When he would say the last part, it was as if he was looking for reassurance. He’d ask me like “right, mom? I can grow up this time?” Really messed me up sometimes.
