Word of the Day: Make-believe
When children play, they often make-believe.
Have you ever watched little children having a tea party with empty plastic cups and an imaginary friend or play-fighting with invisible swords and guns?
They are playing make-believe.
Adults can do this, too.
We can often talk about a world without war or cities without homelessness.
When we make-believe, we imagine something positive that is not true or possible.
