When we talk about ‘cancel,’ it’s like having a magic eraser. Imagine you drew a picture, but then you decided you didn’t like it. Using the magic eraser, you can make the picture disappear as if it was never there.
Think of ‘cancel’ like a stop sign for plans. Pretend you and your friend planned to play outside, but then it started raining. You ‘cancel’ the playtime, which means you stop it from happening because the weather changed the plan.
‘Cancel’ can also be like pressing the pause button on a remote control. If you are watching your favorite cartoon and need to take a break, you press pause. Canceling is like saying, ‘Let’s take a break from this plan or idea for now.’
Finally, ‘cancel’ is like a magic wand that makes something go away. If you have a pretend spell that makes your toy disappear, that’s like canceling the toy’s presence. It’s still there in your heart, but you can’t see it anymore.
