Today we went to the kids' school bookfair.Lucy got the funniest kids book I've ever heard of: Diary of a Wimpy Kid. It's funny because when they say the title, it sounds like "Diarrhea Whimpy kid" and I'm immature like that and laugh every time. Max came got some Captain Underpants books that had some kind of inflatable mascot. So, we got home, read some books, and ate popcorn. Later, Max was flying his inflatable Captain Underpants guy around and making all kinds of flying and shooting sounds.
THUMP!!
Slight Pause.
"MAAAAXXXX THAT HURT!"
Uh-Oh - I thought to intervene and then just thought maybe I should let them play this one out. Thank God I did.
"MAX - THAT REALLY HURT ME!"
"Well that's what SUPERHEROES DO!"
"IT IS NOT WHAT SUPERHEROES DO! And I'm not even a bad guy or a villain!"
"Well, you're my SISTER!"
And note to self: let them work it out for my personal entertainment more often.
"Mom, why are you laughing so hard?"
That's how I roll.
This made me think of the Wonder Twins superheroes - remember them?
"Wonder Twins, activiate!"
Me and my brother used to act that out all the time, pretending to be superheroes, in between conking each other on the head with things and throwing baseballs at each other's heads, etc.
Hilarious Leslie. My brother and I used to play the Wonder Twins also. Thanks for the flash back.
