He has come to appreciate some of his mother's odd ways and interests. And at 6 1/2 years old he even understands the off-the-wall humour that comes along with those interests.
After school one day, I started talking to him about a movie that was being shot in a nearby town with aliens and zombies. I continued on to say how I would be a perfect cast member. "Why mommy?" he said. "Well, I'll show you something honey",I said, "but don't get scared. It's just mommy having fun with pictures". "O.K. mom! Show me!" So, I pulled out my iPod Touch, and showed him this...
With eyes wide open and mouth agape... "WOW! Can I do one?" he asks. "Yeah! Of course you can honey" I answer. "Let's do one of you!!" Just call us Zombie family!
So, the other day, he comes home from school... "Mom, look at my picture." As you will see below, our son does amazing things with stick people - so much detail!
This is what he showed us...
A cemetery with Zombies... with scars, claw-like fingers, sharp teeth, bulging and misshapen eyes... I LOVE IT!! What's more interesting is the ones in the background... zombies on wheels. Movie makers didn't think of that one. Of course, the movies would be much shorter since the action sequences are often based on the speed of the zombies - that's where the suspense lies. Though, I never did understand how the zombies managed to catch up so quickly to the people who were "running" for their lives... Ah, now I get it... the wheels!!
May-be the next sequel to Shaun of the Dead will be "Skateboard Zombies... coming to terrorize your town and your skate park..."
