Day Four

"I'm the best there is, at what I do!"

Our son is a geek!

Nothing wrong with that his Dad definitely is one and seems like I'm not too bad on the old geekness too. From a young age Callum has known who Wolverine, Iron Man, Captain America, Silver Surfer, Thor, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman etc etc are and these days he can run circles round his friends with his Super Hero knowledge. Last summer we even donated to the school a huge bunch of age suitable comics from our collection which was great especially when I caught the kids sitting outside reading them in the mornings before school started, you have to remember I live in England so comics aren't as readily available as say they would be the other side of the pond and don't get me started on costs.

Anyway lately we've been watching Super Hero Squad and Wolverine and the X-Men cartoons which if you haven't seen yet I highly recommend, Marvel's site has some Super Hero Squad episodes to watch online. We've also just started watching Batman: The Brave and the Bold which is really great viewing too.

As you can imagine there is always some form of Super Hero conversation going on in our household and goodness knows how many action figures are lurking about. lol. Which brings me on to today's post.

Conversation this morning while Callum and I were having breakfast.

Callum: "Mummy you're Ms. Marvel."

Me: "OK, why is that?"

Callum: "You are good on the computer and always on there. I'm Wolverine, I'm the best at what I do."

Me:... in my head "hmm so being a monkey is what Wolverine does best is it?"

Callum: "Daddy is Thor."

Me: "Thor?"

Callum: "Yes, Thor. And he has gone for a haircut, Thor needs a haircut, they both do.".

Me: Uncontrollable laughter.


I do love these little conversations with Callum, it's like you get that little insight into what goes on in his head and obviously today he thinks that Daddy needs a haircut. lol.

"Verily I need a haircut."
