Super Daddy

Legend and Daddy are playing an epic super hero game, while Daddy simultaneously cleans the kitchen. What a great man I have!

It begins...
Legend hands Daddy a play phone - "Daddy, you be Grandma and I be Legend."
Daddy - "I don't want to be Grandma again. I'll be Sir Topham hat.  Rrrring. Rrrrrring."
Legend answers his play phone - "Hello. I am Super Legend!"
Daddy - "Hello Super Legend. This is Sir Topham Hat. I need your help. Spencer is stuck in the mud!"
Legend - "Don't worry! I am super strong!" He throws the phone down and acts out picking Spencer the train out of the mud and putting him back on the tracks with his super muscles.
...

Next Daddy is the Hulk. Legend insists that the Hulk is a nice guy now and they make plans over the phone to "save peoples."
Legend - "Hey big green guy! Let's save peoples."
Daddy - "Okay! My name is Hulk."
Pretend battles against imaginary evils ensues.
Legend - "Hey green nice big green guy!"
Daddy - "It's Hulk. Why can't you remember my name?"
Legend - "Hey Hulk big green guy!"
...

Next Daddy is Optimus Prime from Transformers on the phone. After Legend double checks that Optimus Prime is a nice robot guy, they fight evil together.
Legend - "You will not defeat us, bad guys!"
Daddy - "Roll out!"
Legend - "Roll out?"
Daddy - "Yeah. Roll out. It means 'let's go!'"
Legend - "Let's go roll out!"
...

Next Daddy is Spiderman and Legend has changed his name to "Super Legend Iron Man!"

Legend runs over to me with his phone held high. He is so excited by this game, having so much fun, he must tell me about it.

Legend - "Super Mommy! You are feeding Super Nelope? Super Mommy, I am Super Legend Iron Man! I have this super phone for talking to Spiderman, Grandma, Grandpa, and Optimus Prime!"

I love watching my boys play.
