Episode through the eyes of a child

Human child interacting with a Vulcan would be like, "Why are your ears pointy?"
Human child interacting with an Andorian would be like, "Why do you have sticks on your head?"
Human child interacting with a Tellarite would be like, "Oink oink!"
Human child interacting with an Orion would be like, "Are you made out of grass?"
 
Dear Dad,
The Transporter malfunctioned again. Well actually it malfunctioned a few years ago but we have two Commander Rikers now. The new one's pretty cool but he's got like issues and stuff because he's been living down in a hole on a planet by himself, and the old Commander Riker keeps being a dick to him. Maybe it's cuz he want nuts when he got kidnapped and experimented on a few weeks ago by some aliens. That's after he got kidnapped and experimented on a few months back by a completely different group of aliens. I mean that sounds bad but it's kinda nothing when you compare it to what happened to the captain already this year. He got turned into a kid, he got tortured by a Cardassian, he got shot in his robo heart and nearly died, he almost got disintegrated when the ship got cleaned, his girlfriend almost died, his mentor got killed. Meanwhile the senior staff are being framed, having meltdowns, going AWOL, taking over the holodecks. The ship got captured by the Ferengi, the ship almost got fried while inside a dyson sphere, we met a guy who was living in a transporter for 80 years. The ship hasn't blown up this year but who knows, maybe that'll happen next week...
Can I come home!
 
"When the Bough Breaks" also gave us a glimpse, and as a plus had Wesley helping to save the day in a way that didn't annoy me. If not for the lame ending, it could have been a halfway decent episode.
 
I now regret we didn't see The Naked Now from the perspective of five or six drunken children.

Or Genesis. Holy crap that would be a nightmare. Mommy isn't human any more and I think Daddy wants to eat us.
 
Charlie X was a child, a dangerous one

Dear Computer Diary, after playing with the transporter I made all the crew disappear in a poof!
 
The episode that comes the closest to this sort of thing may be Voyager's "The Haunting of Deck Twelve," I think.
 
Where the hell was Naomi? Sam likely would have been on duty, as a science officer. Was she staying in her quarters, missing a "campfire" ghost story?
 
Agreed, it would have made sense for her to be there. I assume Scarlet Pomers wasn't available that week.
 
If Naomi was there while Neelix told the story, she would have been able to confirm everything, since the events he described happened before the Borg kids were found.
