With two boys, superhero names can be very helpful in many situations for either saving the day, calling out bad attitudes or changing the mood of a situation. Some recurring names we have in our home are:
"Naked Boy" (a favorite of Blake after bath, courtesy of his aunt. Although Naked Boy has been making a strong appearance most days now when Blake should be getting dressed).
"Captain Cranky Pants" (Used frequently when frowns are observed and general grumpy attitudes).
"Mr. or Captain Crabby Butt" (Used when there is a general bad attitude we can no longer stand).
ALL superheroes well known to the general population are manifested by my boys when rescuing other toys or saving someone from the wrath of the "tickle monster."
"Mr. Bossy Pants" (Erick's name for telling us all what to do. Occasionally, he is referred to as "Dr. Bossy Pants." Erick wears this name proudly and will claim bossiness as a positive character trait in public. Life may kick those Bossy Pants abruptly one day. For now it works for him).
These names have become so famous in our home that tonight while playing with pirates in the bathtub, one of the characters became "Captain Cranky Pants." I do not believe the character was doing anything remotely cranky. He truly was saving something. So there you have it, "Captain Cranky Pants" is now an official, I wanna be him superhero worth including in the realmof save-the-world-imaginative fun.
I can't wait for him to join forces with Dr. Bossy Pants and Naked Boy.
Don't bet the bank that our home is making the world a safer place just yet.
