I think I created a monster

[janradder]

I got an Underdog DVD (of the original show) from the library today and let Arie and Éiden watch.  In the half hour since they've seen it Arie has been wandering the house speaking like Simon Bar-Sinister:  "Simon says: Pick up!  Simon says:  Put it down!  Simon says:  Go drive!" He then follows each directive with an evil laugh, "Heh-heh-heh-heh."  I'm a little afraid of what bedtime might bring.

Villains are much more interesting as role models, is the problem. Be glad he's not on the Joker train.

He's already been on that train and enjoyed it so much we had to ban it's entry into our house. Worse, though, was when he decided to be Bizarro which consisted of the stilted "Me not like. Me now smash." speech and the flipping of chairs, desks, plates, etc. Needless to say, Bizarro is no longer welcome in our house.

Oy.

Maybe you'd better not expose him to the Hulk anytime real soon . . .

He could turn out like me. When I was four, to impress the girl next door, I Hulked out, ran down my front lawn like a maniac and ripped our mailbox up from the ground, cement anchor and all. I got a pretty good spanking for my display but the girl was impressed. "You really are the Hulk," she told me in awe.

That is a great story.

Thanks. Later that year her brother debunked my assertion that I was really Superman through a carefully devised series of tests worthy of Lana Lang.
