Simply adorable. We have imaginary bad guys here, too. Kinda freaks me out. I need to put on my imaginary play cap.

UCM, without bad guys, we wouldn’t have any Super Heroes!
I’ve seen that YouTube video, Jenski. That little girl cracks me up!

Deputy Dad must be very very proud.

Hi, CM! Good to “see” you! And yes, Deputy Dad certainly is proud of his Little Man.

thanks for the warning!

You’re entirely welcome, Momo. And give my little nephew a kiss for me, would you?

Ah, boys with their guns. It starts that early, eh?
Sounds pretty cute. Like CM said, deputy dad must be proud. Get em bad guys.

Yes, Danielle, it does indeed start that early. Well, earlier, really. He’s been making guns out of blocks for quite a while now.

You posted and I missed it. Boys are pretty different aren’t they? He sounds liked he’s all boy. We had Ichabod’s nephews this past weekend. They were a lot of fun.

Why not work through the bad guys’ grievances with some less faux-fatal consequences?

Thanks for stopping by, Jessi!
Yes, Squirl, SuperBoy is definitely All Boy, through and through. And abso-freaking-lutely adorable. (In my objective, totally unbiased opinion. Hee.)
Hello and welcome, ebeth. Since I don’t know you, I can only hope that your comment was meant to be silly and tongue-in-cheek; and I’m choosing to take it as such. If I thought you might be serious, my eyeballs might fall out of my head from rolling my eyes so hard.
