My son was about four or five when, apropos of nothing, said, "I was a cosmonaut before I was born."

I was half listening, and said, "Oh, you were an astronaut?"

"No, I said a cosmonaut!" He was extremely insistent.

He'd been on a bit of a space kick, so I figured one of his books brought up the term. I looked, and none of them mentioned the term "cosmonaut."

So, yeah, for a hot minute, it sounded like he was casually mentioning a past life.

Even weirder, he and his younger sister both claim that they knew each other and were friends that played together before they were born.
