Superheroes

Last night at the dinner table R and I were looking through Target's most recent toy catalog. It starts off with a lot of action figures and action figure scenario sets, and she and I were talking about the things on each page-- I was bribing her by telling her she had to take a bite of food before we could turn the page and see what was next. Looking at all the action figures, she recognized Spider Man, but not Iron Man or Tron, so she kept asking, "Who is that superhero?" and I was telling her who they were.

After finding out who they were, her first question was always, "Is he nice?" (I always said yes) and then she would tell me stories about them in which Iron Man would come down and give her a hug and a kiss or where Tron would find her on top of a particular playset pictured in the catalog and give her a hug and a kiss. They were really really nice superheroes.

  1. That toy catalog is such a blast. We had Xander's attention with it for an entire meal at a restaurant. Ah...brings back childhood memories of the Sears catalog every Christmas.
