Stan Lee would be Proud

Today at the park, Ben was proclaiming to my mother that he was in jail, as he was behind the safety bars at the top of the slide. This gave him an idea. He began to shout to my mother a Spiderman story that he was making up. I noticed two other boys on the playground maybe ages 10-12. As Ben's story unfolded, the two boys got closer and closer listening intently. At one point Ben paused in his story and said, "do you know who that villain was Nana?" I saw one of the other boys say to the other, "maybe venom?" Ben declared that it was Doctor Octopus. I was so proud of my boy and his story making up/telling skills. I wonder what stories he'll be making up when he is 10 years old.

HA! Sheryl, that reminds me of when we'd all be playing G.I. Joes and me and Scott would stop playing to pay attention to what Mark's guys were doing because it was always WAY more interesting than the stuff we were making up.

A writer. He has a future as a writer. Or at least a blogger. :-)

That is so cute. I love to watch my grand-son's with their imagination play. Who needs toys?
