At the age of 5, boys seem to grow up at a fast pace, that you can hardly follow and you most likely won't be able to act accordingly (especially if you are a "mom" not a "dad"!
Ghadi came back
from school two days ago, so excited by the new game they were playing at
school recess... it was Monster Zombie...
"what?"
I asked in the most tolerate tone I could maintain, trying not to show how
freaked out and shocked I've been...
then he explained
it was about zombies, who first run as normal people, then his friend Adam,
comes and cut his head (????) then he falls down (imitating the sudden fall
while trembling all his body and showing his tongue) then he wakes up again
this time as zombie (logic!) then he runs after his fiend, this walking slowly
as dead people (how exactly?) laying his hands straight in front of him,
closing one eye, humming in a loud voice!
ok, that was
beyond my understanding as a mom of a 5 years old, who hates horror movies, who
watched zombies for the first time at the age of...22 (aka resident
evil), so the first I wanted to do was seeking help... which meant running to
Jamil, and ask him: do you, BOYS, play zombies and walk like dead people at the
age of 5???? is it Normal???
cuz I don't want
to suppress my boy's enthusiasm and act as a mom who is not
"cool" enough to laugh when her boy (her 5 Year Old boy) explains
happily playing Zombies with his best friends...
so all I did was
smiling, (that came just after chocking), I nodded my head and asked like it
was a super casual unintentional question: "but where did you learn all
that honey, we never watched Zombie here at home..."
and he replied,
also in the most innocent casual excited tone: "my friend Adam taught me
all that!"
and I waved my
head, with a big proud smile, saying in a ghostly sound: "waaw... bravo
Adam...."
