In honor of Mother's Day, I'll share a quick story about my little girl who, by the way, turns four in two days! Anyhoo, I have a zombie shirt that I wear to bed at night (because honestly, what good zombie lover doesn't?) and she woke me up one Saturday morning. Usual ritual. She climbs into bed and asks to watch a movie in my room, and I sorta doze off while she enjoys the morning with Blues Clues and the like.
At any rate, on this particular morning, she decided to tell me that she liked my shirt. So, of course, I asked her. "Do you know what this is?" Her response wasn't simple. It was full of inflection, and your typical imaginary voice, and she reaches out her arms in a grasping motion and goes "It's a zooommmbbbbiiiiieeee."
This mom is so proud. Not to mention, ask my girl "What does the zombie say" and she goes "ahhhhh..... brainnnnsss...."
Hopefully, with any luck at all, my little bean is prepared for the zombie apocalypse. At any rate, she's probably in better shape than most four-year-olds.
All this reminds me of one of my favorite videos. It's been around for awhile, but you should check it out if you haven't already. These are important matters. In the words of Madeye Moody... "Constant Vigilance!"
So all you parents, please check this out. For the children. Are Video Games Adequately Preparing Our Children for the Post-Apocalyptic Future?
Oh, and Happy Mother's Day.
I think my son may be prepared. While not as familiar with zombies, he does know well of cerberus, hydra, medusa, and other gorgons. He says his plan is to be either Perseus or a knight of the round table when he grows up.
ReplyDeleteThe kid is prepared for a fight. Zombies move pretty slow.
