Squinting makes things look blurry, like a fuzzy picture. When you squint at the sky, the clouds become that fuzzy picture, and your brain tries to find shapes in it, just like when you play connect-the-dots.
Examples
- Squint at your breakfast cereal and see an elephant.
- Look at a tree from far away and imagine it's a dragon.
- Peek between your fingers and watch the sky turn into a spaceship.
