Batman

My little boy was playing with his Batman and his Metroman figures.

he liked that they were both good guys who stopped the bad guys.

after playing for a while he had to come get his shoes on to go to meet the schoolbus.

He walked into the kitchen, looked at batman and then up at me.

E: "Mommy i wish we had Batman where we live."

Me: "oh yeah.  what does batman do?"

E: "he stops the bad guys"

M: "We have people in our town that do that, they're just not batman."

he just looked at batman again, and then, questioningly, at me.

M: "what do the police do?"

E: "i don't know."

M: "do they stop bad guys?"

E: "yeah."

M: "so we don't need batman do we?"

a little smile formed and he looked at batman again.

E: "No."

Thank you to our 'fighters of crime'

side note: this was two days ago.  

he loves batman because he fights the bad guys.  

today he ran either 'fight club' or 'mortal kombat' with is toys.  

all i heard was "Ok...FIGHT!"

too funny.
