I think Spiderman is still the costume of choice for every boy under the age of 10.
Four-year old Spiderman and friend, four-year old Ironman, came to our porch. They seemed harmless at first.
...If you consider masked four-year olds harmless.
As they ran down the driveway, Ironman yells for Spiderman to wait for him. Spiderman seems uninterested in his new friend, Ironman.
When arriving at our steps, I do the usual "oohing" and "aahing" over their overstuffed-fake-muscley-costumes. Spiderman still doesn't speak. Ironman introduces them:
Ironman: (Points to self and speaks in a slow clear voice) I am Ironman. (With outstretched arms to new friend) Meet Spiderman.
Spiderman: (Still nothing but a "Trick-or-Treat.")
Ironman: (Pointing to Spiderman's unusually large pectoral muscles for a four-year old...) Spiderman has BOOBIES!! ...and a belt.
Spiderman: (looks down in utter concern...since he obviously had no idea what a booby was...)
This has definitely been the highlight of my week. :)
