I usually tell my 4 year old a bedtime story every night. It’s part of the nightly routine. Honestly, sometimes I half-ass it with a short story (yeah, I feel a little guilty about that). However, last night I turned in a solid performance.
Lately, my son has been into Spider-Man and Super Hero Squad. We watched a few Spectacular Spider-Man episodes on YouTube (via my blu-ray player) yesterday. He loved it (and so did I). When it came time for the bedtime story, he requested a story featuring him and Spider-Man. No problem. Here’s the basic outline of the story:
- My son drove a car to visit Super Hero City (that’s where Super Hero Squad takes place)
- He looks for Spider-Man near the tall buildings buildings, but he’s not there
- He looks for Spider-Man at the park, but he’s not there
- He remembers that Peter Parker is Spider-Man so he goes the science lab to find Peter
- He finds Peter and tells Peter that his secret identity is safe
- Peter thanks him buy changing into Spider-Man and taking my son a webslinging tour of the city
That Spider-Man story was a good one. How do I know? 1) He didn’t get out of bed the rest of the night and 2) that’s all he talked about as I got ready for work this morning.
