The boy and his green hat!!
|
A while back, ummmm...it was when the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie with Johnny Depp. I wrote a poem for Alan. It was inspired by a moment in time so here it is along with the Introduction and first chapter of my book about the kids.
The Little Boy and His Green Hat. by: Myrna
I know a Little boy who has a green hat.
It's oversized and kinda flat.
The hat is his special, favorite toy.
With it on, he is no longer this little boy.
Instead, he becomes the world's greatest Chocolatier.
He leaves his aches in this world here.
I watch him play with this hat.
To me, it's just green, oversized, and flat.
To add to the mix, he makes a cane.
Square little legos in a row, never the same.
I am in awe of the land he makes.
In his head, legos are pies, candies, and cakes.
He knows the lines by heart.
He never stutters when he starts.
All day long, he is this man with the funny name.
He never gets tired of his little game.
I often wonder when he dreams,
If it's of chocolate that runs in rivers and streams.
I know a little boy who has a green hat.
As his mom, I am proud of that.

Introduction to The Misadventures of Batman, Superman, Little J and Baby Bug.
My Life has been filled with ups and downs. The greatest moments I have ever had came with the births of my kids. It was the completion of my dreams. I am the mom of four wonderful kids: Alan aka superman, Alex aka Batman, AJ aka Little J, and Mary aka Baby bug. Now, I have discovered, like all parents with more then one kid, each one is unique. Each child comes at you from a different point of view. This is no more evident then in my kids' adventures, or MISadventures if you will. I am not sure the difference between the two but, I am certain Misadventures is right for my kids.
Please note that I am going to use their nicknames to make this more fun. After all, we are talking about a 6, 5, 4 year olds and a four month old. Occassionally, other "Characters" will show up with a breif intro. This is to clear up confusion. Allow me to introduce three other characters now. There is Lois the nosey reporter who has to always know the 411 aka Mommy. That's right I am nosey. At least that's the way Superman sees it. Then there's the Joker Arch nemisis to Batman aka Daddy. He always gets in Batman's way. Finally, Peach. The one who lets them get away with it all. This is Aunt Jessi. As I said, Others will be in play later.
So, sit back and enjoy the ride. And God Bless you and your family.
Chapter One : Bugs in the Underwear. We've all come to discover that NOTHING bothers Peach more then Bugs and Spiders. Batman is especially proud of this discovery. While most people are just afraid, she's terrified. Sad fact is she doesn't even try to hide it.
WELCOME TO MISADVENTURE ONE!!! Batman was running around the house and charging head on into Joker. Full costume and throtle. While I am normally opposed to this behavior, Joker didn't try to stop him, so I stayed out of it. (I was trying to be "unnosey") Today, Superman was in diguise as Robin, and before long, he had joined the fray. Neither of them noticed the door open and Peach walking in. Well, that was until she shrieked and said "ew ew ew ew there's a bug on the floor kill it kill it kill it."
I had to laugh. She was right about the bug but, there was no killing this one. For laying on the floor, was bum bum bum..... Batman's toy cockroach. I sat there giggling but, Peach REFUSED to come inside until we move the toy cockroach. This delighted Batman, who picked it up and CHASED Peach outside with it. She quickly shut the door and held the handle to keep him from opening it. Batman went to the window and held the toy in veiw and giggled. He was letting Peach know she wasn't getting inside unscathed.
Peach ran in the door and quickly ran to her room and slammed the door. Batman and roach weren't to far behind. Mind you, this is made funnier by the fact that, as adults we get weighted down and can't move as fast as kids. This is, in my oppinion, our Creator's ideal of a joke. Now this started a huge bit of fun for Batman and Superman all day long. Peach would just start to relax and there was that bug. One day, about a week later, Batman got a perfectly marvelous ideal. But, I didn't know about it until it was too late.
I was in the kitchen cooking when Peach came home. Superman walked in and said "Batman's gonna get in trouble." While normally I ignore these kind of comments, the scream and slamming door told me I shouldn't this time.
"Okay, What did you guys do this time?" Parents note: This is what I like to call a LOADED QUESTION!!! One asked when one of two factors is present: 1) you know the answer and want a confession you know you are not going to get or 2) you don't know and you don't want to know.
Anyway, the rest of the conversation went like this: "Not me, Batman." "Okay, what did Batman do?" "Ummm....I can't tell you." "Why not?"
"He told me he'd beat me up if I did". Well, naturally I was..... okay maybe not stunned but concerned. The scream had come from Peach. Batman was laughing hysterically, again. Now, let's be honest about something. Batman has a very LOW attention span, typical for his age. To think that he could remember something like, oh, say, Peach hates bugs is one thing. But, as always, he pushed it to the next level.
This is my conversation with Peach, who looked mortified. "Ummm...what happened." "There's is a spider in my underwear drawer ewwww." I am not a big fan of spiders my self so, naturally, I was ready to let her deal with it herself and started to say so until she said: "I was reaching in my drawer to get the camera and take picture of Batman cause he looked so cute. Then I saw IT!!!" By now, curiosity had gotten the better of me. Was it possible that Batman had conned Peach into opening that drawer? I agreed to go check. Carefully, I opened the drawer and looked inside. I was not about to get bit. I peeked in and busted out lauging. In her drawer was......bum bum bum bum a 2 inch long toy spider. Yes, he had accomplished a huge defeat against Peach. He sat there giggling and I joined him. Peach admitted that she was impressed with him and the game was afoot. Now this has happened several more times, as you will find out.
 I guess the moral of this is that God gives us small fears that our family can use to pick on us just to keep fun in life. But, He also uses our kids to teach us innocent fun.
