In today’s digital landscape, I find myself immensely grateful for the invention of Internet parental controls. As a parent, the thought of navigating technology with my children often feels daunting. When my young son, Ethan, enthusiastically requested his own tablet, I briefly considered abandoning modern life altogether. However, as a (mostly) contemporary family, we allow our kids to explore the digital world—with the necessary safety measures in place. Parental controls have been a lifesaver, especially after discovering the hilarious Google search history of my 6-year-old.
Ethan loves playing games like Angry Birds and Star Wars, but his favorite pastime is experimenting with the Google voice search feature on my partner’s phone. One evening, my partner walked into the room chuckling and handed me the phone, encouraging me to take a look at Ethan’s recent searches. It was a delightful and chaotic glimpse into the mind of a little boy, showcasing his unique blend of curiosity and creativity.
Here’s a snapshot of Ethan’s whimsical search queries:
- 7:39 p.m. – Searched for images of Triceratops and Allosaurus (Pretty standard, right?)
- 7:39 p.m. – Searched for images of all dinosaurs fighting (Ambitious little guy!)
- 7:40 p.m. – Searched for images of Bigfoot
- 7:40 p.m. – Searched for images of gorillas

- 7:49 p.m. – Searched for images of mutant dinosaurs (Again with the mutants?)

- 8:05 p.m. – Searched for images of Nick Jonas in push-up suits (This needs to stop.)
I can only imagine where Ethan’s curiosity would have taken him had he continued. Nevertheless, it was entertaining to witness a snapshot of his imaginative thoughts in such a short period. Clearly, dinosaurs are a favorite of his, so I might want to add some dinosaur-themed items to his birthday list.
Oh, dear. I just realized that in his teenage years, I could easily swap “dinosaur” for “dating” and get a similarly amusing stream of consciousness. I’ll remember to avoid checking his Google history then.
