Oh man, my 3.5 year old does this! He's not quite as clear about it, but he'll narrate whatever he's doing like he's explaining to his audience. To be fair, I have this weirdly vivid memory of walking my dog on my dead-end gravel road as a kid and describing it all like an instructional video. It was WELL before the youtubes.

I definitely used to narrate my own life in my head but in novel form. i bet children of old did this in cuneiform.

My 4 y.o. does this even today. SheтАЩs a big reader and a big feeler. Her voice is very much an omniscient narrator, sympathetic to her as the hero in a world of nefarious idiots. And honestly? I get it.
