It never ceases to amaze me what my kids pretend to be. Here are some of my recent favorites:

• Dinosaur Hunter (using modern weaponry)
• Explorer in a volcano (like the traditional “the floor is lava” game, but with a lava sucking laser to protect his feet)
• Batman
• Spiderman
• Wolverine (“Dad, next time you guess, can you guess Wolverine since I have stripes on my jacket?”)
• Wonder Woman
• Elsa
• “Bad Guys”
• “Good Guys”
• Artist
• Mommy
• Koala Bear (while giving hugs)
• The Flash
• “The strongest” (ignoring the fact that he is trying to push Daddy over and can’t do it)
• “The fastest” (ignoring the fact that I beat him in the race)
• Every Star Wars character
• Cute and Innocent (as in, got caught red handed – “What are you doing?” “I don’t know Daddy, can I give you a hug?….”)
• Anyone with a blaster.
• Soldiers
• Police officers

Oh to have the mind of a child again. The world is always filled with wonder.
