I wasn't planning on posting this story because I don't think it will make the transition from verbal format to blog, but after retelling it so many times I feel like it needs to be recorded for my memory. If this flops just know that it is MUCH funnier in person!
The boys have recently started pretending to be superheroes. It's interesting to watch boy play develop because they started being superheroes before they had ever heard or seen pictures of the characters so prevalent in our culture right now. They still don't really know Superman or Spiderman or the like, but every once in a while they will switch from dinosaur play to don the identity of 'Fireboy' or 'Strongman'.
The other day, while they were playing superheroes I had this conversation with Eli:
M: What's your superhero name?
E: SUPERBANE!
M: Oh! What is your super power, Superbane?
E: (with very serious and intense expression and gestures) I lift up chairs.... and look for lizards!!
You never know when that skill might come in handy!
