Jordan has been fascinated lately by Superhero's and good vs. evil. All day long he fights the bad guys and thoroughly enjoys dressing up as Spiderman, Batman, Luke Skywalker or a Power Ranger.
Today, however, he asked me a very good question...
"Mommy, are bad people REAL?"
Me: "Yes, they are."
Jordan: "Well, what planet do they live on?"
Me: (trying not to laugh) "Earth". Now, I am starting to realize that "bad people" in his head are super villains. So, I clarify.. "The bad people in the movies are not real."
Jordan: (with his most matter-of-fact voice) "Well, there ARE bad people on Saturn in the volcanoes"
Me: (now really trying not to laugh) "o.k."
Jordan: "Are superheros real?" OH MY!

adorable! i love that he has gotten into superheros! Andon is major on that stuff! he is actually playing spiderman on PS2 right now! oh my, did i just say that!? :)
that is so funny. I love those kinds of conversations.
Playing off of that "super hero" theme is how Bradley REALLY started to understand God & satan. I used to talk to him about how satan is God's enemy which makes him our enemy, too. I talked about how God is so much stronger than "the enemy" & we never have to be afraid of the enemy b/c God can protect us... He is our Hero. Bradley totally understood that analogy. i was glad that I took the chance to make one of those "simple" conversations REALLY count. It may work with Jordan, too.
Anyway, such a funny story. I love that you wrote it down so you won't forget it. I have had so many of those stories with my kids, but I rarely remember them after a couple months pass. Good thinking :)
Tell him his mommy is his superhero go with that as long as you can! Miss you guys!
Wow! And I was just reading all the planet books to Annalise from the library. I must have missed the part about bad guys in the volcanos. I guess I should take another look :)
tell him yes. i told mine that i am a super hero and have bionic hearing to know when they are sneaky or lying;)
