My old babysitting gig showed me kids have this raw creativity we stamp out. We teach them roofs are for keeping dry, not for imagining slides, and that's kinda sad. By third grade most of them would just ask about the paycheck.

Look at the shingles slide question from a kid's view. It's not about being funny, it's about making sense of a weird adult thing. That's where the real fun is, lol.

That point about kids making sense of a weird adult thing rings true. I remember my daughter saw a parking meter and called it a robot tree. She tried to feed it coins so it would grow, which was her way of figuring out what it was for. It's funny how we adults just see a thing to pay, but kids see a story. That kind of imagination gets buried under what we call common sense.
