Some people see faces in shapes because their brains like to find faces! Imagine you're looking at a cloud and it looks kind of round. Your brain might think, 'Hey, that’s a face!' Just like when you look at a pizza and it feels like it's smiling at you. It’s like your brain is playing a fun game, finding people in everything!
Examples
- A boy sees a cloud that looks like an elephant.
- A girl thinks her pizza has a sad face on it.
- A man believes the moon is wearing a hat.
