Spidermania

Jesse is a big fan of Spiderman. Ever since I pointed the billboards out to Jesse, the boy had been smitten with the webslinger. And since Daddy too is a fan, the boy has a growing collection of Spidey merchandise.

To date, Jesse's got a Spidey bag, a Spidey tumbler, pencil sharpener, stationery, stickers, a soft toy, Spidey undies, slippers, the works! And he's really into it too. Reading the books, watching the movie. He can even sing the first verse of the Spiderman song.

"Honey, I think it's time we got the boy his very own Spidey suit," I suggest. And a couple of weeks back, we found our way to Petaling Street where we got him the suits - the regular red and blue one, and the hot and spicy black one. And we even picked up a couple of masks for him.

The boy loves his suits but for some strange reason, he never wants to put them on.

"No, no," he'd protest. "Too big," he'd add, along with a host of other feeble excuses just not to wear it. He's also against the idea of me putting on his Spiderman masks. He'd bow his head so as not to look me in the face and he'd go, "Daddy, take out!"

*sigh*
Weird kid. Still trying to figure him out.

  1. The Little Man knows; there can only be one Spider-Man, and it will not be him. Or you.
    A worthy Spider-Fan, he will be.

  6. methinks, jesse appreciate the value of collector's items. Once used or out of the box, the value will depreciate.

  7. Ha ha! I think maybe you should get him a V suit! The Guy Fawkes get up would probably freak out a whole bunch of people including yourself. I echo duckie's comment. It's probably a collector's mentality. Can anyone say "mint-condition Petaling Street costume" ?
