Telling Stories

Sam is really into superheroes these days, but he only knows what little misinformation is shared with him by his friends at school. He hangs on to these gems and mixes them with his own take on things to create elaborate tales about his superhero friends. Why, just the other day he interrupted my shower to ask me if Iron Man sleeps in his iron suit. When I suggested that he did not, in fact, sleep in his suit, Sam reasonably responded that "Iron Man doesn't have 'jamas!" So I don't know where that leaves us.

And yesterday we got in an argument over whether or not The Hulk can fly. I said he couldn't, but I'm not 100% sure of that. And Sam was invested in the idea of The Hulk flying, so I dropped it.

Here are a couple of videos of Sam discussing 1) How the Joker got his start in the Batman series and 2) Spider-Man and Spider-Girl vs. the bad guys.


SUBTITLE:
He came from a ride. And then he fell in poisonous water. And it was a lot of poisonous. And then he wanted to get it (the poisonous, I'm presuming) on everybody and Batman. But Batman saves the day. And Spider-Man. And that's it.

 
SUBTITLE:
Spider-Man and Spider-Girl saw a bad guy and he was trying to catch him but he was too fast. So Spider-Man and Spider-Girl shoot webs and then there was another bad guy and another bad guy and then he break all the things (?); break the houses; and break the toys; and break the windows; and break the pictures; and the phones; and the everything in the world; and the chicken coop. The End. Now I want a video!
