“I know,” Steve said. “Why don’t we look at the DVD case, and when I point to a character, you explain what they do, o. k.?”
“O. k.,” Lizzy agreed, happy to get even this close to an electronic medium. In the doorway she paused, however. “Are you sure you didn’t bring a Game-Boy?”
As he had not, he spent his afternoon learning about Princess Power’s magic tiara and all the different ways she could use it in her fight against the evil Rasputin and his minions. Lizzy was disappointed in the tiara they made out of cardboard and foil; as she repeatedly pointed out, they could have got a much neater looking one with sound effects at Wal-Mart. On the other hand, when he put on Gwen’s poncho and tried to block Lizzy from the Emerald Cave (actually the kitchen) by hypnotizing her with one of her Princess Power official necklaces, she allowed that he was quite convincing, and his death throes when zapped by the tiara sent her into fits of giggles.

When we were little, we played "big people" and "little people" as we called it. Big People was when we pretended to be cowboys or pirates, and Little People was when we used bottle caps or action figures or dolls or made tanks out of mud and let them dry then crushed them like being blown up.
Neat, Tom. I am enjoying your trip down memory lane.
Remind me, Stephen is Jack's son-in-law?
Rasputin is just misunderstood.
Stephen is Jack's son from his first marriage.
