Corgan and his Dad were playing with the bin full of Transformers that they own. Yes, they. Aaron is in as much love--if not more--with them as Corgan is. We still have some hiding out in our closet that he's bought for any type of future gift giving holiday.
Whilst they were in the middle of all the mayhem and action that comes with playing with Transformers, Corgan picked up his Bumblebee and crashed it into Aaron's helicopter one. ((can't remember the name off the top of my head. but the next time you see either of them, ask 'em. they know)) So Aaron stopped playing and told Corgan that he couldn't do that. "Cars don't fly", was his reasoning.
I looked over and said something like, "It's great you're playing with him, but try not to stifle his imagination."
He told me that he was just trying to teach him "realistic play".
What? Is that something he learned from all of those much required, time-wasting, Ed classes?
I told him, "You're playing with toys that are supposed to be robots from outer space. How realistic can you get?"
He had nothin'.

realistic play

so funny. it sounds like my kids arguing over how to play.
Sounds a little like the conversations we just had while watching Barbie's Rapunzel. James: "Like the chandelier could just start the marble floor on fire immediately." Just after the talking weasel got torched by an adolescent female dragon.
I love hearing stories of Daddies playing with their kids. Right now Kent and Tanner are playing indoor soccer. Bryce wants to be in the game also but just can't quite keep up with the big boys. Miss you guys. The next time your in Yakima give us a call. Keep in touch!
That sounds awfully familiar. Justin buys transformers, hides them from the kids and then I catch him in the bedroom, by himself playing with them. When we go to the store we always have to look at the transformer toys, he gets so excited he reminds me of a little kid.
Rachel, your stories just crack me UP!
we have conversations like that all the time. it is amazing how one thing is completely accepted (like the talking weasel (we have rapuzel too) yet we criticize the audacity of the film makers to allow a car to flip over in middle of a car chase and then continue on driving like that sort of thing happens every day if you just know how to do it. the charlies angels films are good examples of that sort of stuff.
