I am in college, and live with my aunt, uncle, cousins and Godson. The children are a 5 yr old gir, a 3 yr old girl, and a 1 yr old boy.
The three year old girl has always been...different. She can be an incredibly sweet, easy child, and she can be a complete and total handful. She can also be a little eerie at time.
She says things all the time like, "I broke my arm was I was grown up," or "I was there when I was five," or other things like that. When I tell her, "you've never been five, you're only three!" She'll reply that I'm wrong (or she'll say, "liar, liar, pants on fire," which she recently picked up at school). I've always assumed that she was either, A) confused about years, such as, Five (or Ten, or twenty-two, whatever) comes AFTER three or B) that she was just playing pretend.
But after a conversation with two friends today at lunch (which prompted one to search for and send me a link to this site) I started to wonder, what if...
Mainly, I am concerned about what she used to say when she was little. She learned to talk very early and would say things like, "I remember Jesus from before I was in Mommy's tummy," and "I used to know Jesus before when I was not a baby yet." She was (is) sure she's met Jesus, and this was before she moved to the town in which she currently attends Catholic pre-school.
She says other strange things too, not past-life-like, but strange, like after their rotweiller died last year (when she was two) and she continued to play with him. She stopped talking about him for months and months ("it makes Mommy too sad," she told me) and then, a couple of months ago, she told her mother that she had spent the afternoon playing with Max (their dog) and my aunt's mother's German Shepard. When my aunt told me this, I was like, "Aww, that's sad." And she replied. "Yeah, it is. Because my mother's dog died last week and we haven't told the kids yet." After this, I just came to the conclusion that my little cousin is...different...than her older sister.
I've started working on a script loosely based on ehr and the things she says and plays, but after last week when she described breaking her arm "when (she) was grown up," I've considered the fact that maybe she does not just have an over-active imagination, but maybe a real memory of something before she was my little cousin, and maybe she does actually see things that I simply cannot. I'm interested in finding out more about children and past lives, and in the opinions of other people who know more on the subject than I, regarding whether she just might have one of those memories the other children seem to have abt past lives.
Should I ask her straight-out about when she was 'grown up?' I know that when I was little, I always imagined that I had been a civil rights activist in the 60s and 70s (I was the only 6 year old in my school watching Mary Tyler Moore, singing Sonny and Cher, and reciting Martin Luther King's "I have a Dream" Speech) so I've just always assumed that she was like me, creative and different...But maybe...not?
