Spider man.....or Daddy?

Tonight at dinner our youngest (age 2 1/2) was fully engaged in the table discussion.  Big brother, Tyler, was sharing about a project he made a school.  For Halloween they made ghosts for lunch room table decorations.  On each ghost the children wrote questions for their schoolmates.  Tyler's read "Why do spiders make good baseball players?"  Hmm.....we all tried to think up our best answers but couldn't get it right.  Tyler blurted "Because they catch flies.  Get it?  Like a pop fly in baseball?" Ellie interrupted, "No, they catch baseballs."  She then proceeded to tell us all a story "Baseball go boom, boom, and Spider Spider save me."  I looked at her and  questioned "Spider man?"  She agreed "Yes, baseball go boom and boom and Spider man save me."  I smiled and continued "Is Spider man handsome?"  She grinned and nodded her head.  "Daddy Spider Man handsome too." And with that she looked adoringly at her daddy and gave him a big loving smile.  Of course I agree with her!
