Help Me! What?


You know how Spiderman and Batman actually live at my house? When we went to the Butterfly Pavillion the other day I realized how much my kids believe in the dream. As we were getting out of the car and readying ourselves to go in Cooper said -- in all seriousness -- I could probably become a real Spiderman if I let the spider bite me.

I asked him if he thought this was a good idea (thinking something more like, "Oh Please don't let spiders bite you." And he said, "I need to think about it. It might hurt and it's a lot of fighting bad guys." I'm not kidding you people. Spiderman's career path might very well have started at the Butterfly Pavilion. I'm just saying, watch out for spiders or you might be in for a lot of fighting bad guys.

Once we were inside it took my boys about 14 minutes to find an oversized spider's web. Pictured above having the following conversation:

COOP: (said in a fake distress) Help me! Help me! Help me!

MAS: (yelled like a little good fella) What!

COOP: (said in a fake distress) Help me! Help me! Help me!

MAS: (yelled like a little good fella) What!

COOP: (said in a fake distress) Help me! Help me! Help me!

MAS: (yelled like a little good fella) What!

COOP: (said in a fake distress) Help me! Help me! Help me!

MAS: (yelled like a little good fella) What!

Mason never did help Coop.

There can't be anything more fun than pretending to be spiderman in an oversized web!

I love reading about the funny things they say. We just don't see enough of them.

That was Rachel. This is Devin. Mason when Adam or Trent used to ask for my help I would never give it either... Little Brothers aren't suppose to help out because most of the time we as younger brothers get the short end of the stick. Andrew never had the short end of the stick because he was the baby.
