Inventing things

My son Tyler likes to come up with all sorts of inventions. Sometimes he says that when he is a grown up he'll invent something to do XYZ. At breakfast I told him that he doesn't have to wait until he's grown up -- he can invent things now. Of course, he might not be able to make certain things until he is older, but he can still have ideas.

He was gazing into his bowl of cereal and came up with an idea: a bed with mosquito net and snack facilities. He said "Sometimes I get crazy ideas from my cereal and I don't know how to make them." I suppose gazing into a bowl of water was good enough for Nostradamus, so maybe a bowl of cereal is not such a bad place to get inspiration.
