Things I Must Explain Tomorrow
Jan. 31st, 2010 10:39 pmLest the daycare be concerned:
1. Danger Lad! currently believes that anyone who is not wearing glasses is wearing contact lenses. Including himself. He's very concerned about making sure you have yours - he wants to check your eyes.
2. If he kisses you, he will insist on symmetry. We draw the line at bilateral symmetry at home; radial symmetry is infinitely time-consuming.
3. If he cannot pronounce the name of the food, he will fall back on "it's yucky." He's perfectly willing to eat yucky, unpronounceable food.
4. His name, written, is always pronounced as his full, long, legal name. (Sidebar: Did you know there's a character limit for social security cards?) It's not just Danger Lad!, it's Danger Lad! Schrodinger Rabbit Vermicelli. (I paraphrase.) Occasionally, he sneaks in some extra middle names - Tristan and Twelve have both shown up. If all this is too much, you can just call him "Bad Superman."
Bonus, My Kid is a Special Snowflake Edition:
5. He yells "thieves and scoundrels!" at the FBI warning screen. Please don't stop him. He really likes the word "scoundrel" and there's not a lot of opportunity to use it in everyday conversation.
6. Captain Hammer, who travels with Superman and Batman and Clark Kent and Robin, is a corporate tool.
7. Bad Superman is actually Bizarro. Please do not permit Bizarro to attempt flight from any launching point taller than he is, but should he choose to recreate Krypton, I would like pictures.
