The Green Goblin


I drove through McDonald's (in Zacharese, it's called "Old McDonald's") and got Zachary a Happy Meal. The toy in the Happy Meal was "The Green Goblin" from Spiderman. It looked a lot like this picture, including the jack o' lanterns & the flying thing he's standing on.
We haven't really introduced Zachary to many "bad guys" yet. I think the scariest "bad guy" character he's seen is "Hopper" on the movie, A Bug's Life. This has been an intentional effort we've made, just to protect his little mind. I loved listening to Zachary try to figure out this "bad guy." Here are some of the concerns he had.

"Is he standing on an airplane? Does it fly?"

"What's he holdin'? It looks like a pumpkin. Is it a real pumpkin?"

"Mommy, somethin's wrong with his belly. What's wrong with his belly?"

"Mommy, is he smiling? I don't know if he's smiling. Why isn't he smiling?"
