I noticed a checklist on the kitchen table this morning that was written by my 7-year-old son. Apparently, he's interested in becoming Hawkeye. It says:
How to be hockeii
- be asom
- have a arow
- have a sut
- cool hare
- not have a smile
- jump of of stuf
- be Avingerer
- be acueret
I cracked up at "not have a smile".
Even better, he included a picture that showed several of these items. I'll try to scan it tonight.
If he were a little older, he'd probably have included the obvious things regarding Black Widow. But perhaps that falls under the category "be asom".
I'm waiting for his sequel, "How to be Iron Man."
EDIT: Here's the original and the picture:
I'll see your child's drawing with my own macaroni construction.
I think it's clear how much more superior I am to your son. You should show him this as an example of what he can aspire to.

I hope your Mommy and Daddy liked it.

That is seriously cute OP. If and when i have a son and he does something like that, i'd be so proud. And ignore the "spelling remarks" from ATOTers, they only know how to hurt.

Thanks.
Having kids is absolutely the best thing I've ever done. And yeah, I feel sorry for the critics more than anything else.
Now if only Jeremy Renner would show up at my son's school wearing his Hawkeye outfit.
Maybe I'll have to lose a few pounds and visit a costume shop.

I have a son too, and a daughter on the way, but that doesn't mean I would't correct the numerous spelling mistakes of a 1st grader's writting. At about the same age my dad did the same thing to me when I handed him a list to give to santa. Call me overly strict, but I would consider ignoring such mistakes bad parenting.
eits

heh, i thought it said "lump of of stuf"... i was like "lump of stuff? uh, op, i think i've got some bad news for you..."
He's a very cool dad. I enjoyed checking out the "Wave at the Bus" blog - thanks for the link!
If I did that, the kids on the bus would be freaked out... mostly because nobody on the bus would know me. My wife drives my boys to school.
I dress up every Halloween, so I certainly wouldn't be too shy to do it. I dug out my old Star Trek (TNG) uniform last year and used my iPad as an LCARS device.
Yeah, he sometimes forgets which way his d's and b's go, too. That's made for some... interesting words.
T'is a phase. He'll break out of it before next school year.

That is really cool OP. As a father of 3, I've seen some interesting drawings come home from school.
Back when my son was ~ 4 I found a drawing he made of a battle scene with tanks / helicopters / airplanes etc. I asked him what it was and he said it was Vietnam. At that point I wondered if he was a reincarnated Vietnam USAF pilot!
Another odd drawing he made was when he was around 7, he's 8 now. It was another battle scene with tanks / planes / helicopters and people. On the top he wrote, and subsequently scratched out "white people win", and then wrote "black people lose". He titled it white vs black people. I was freaking out when I saw it, and called his teacher to see if they were learning about anything Martin Luther King related (it was around January), and she said no. I asked her to keep an eye out to make sure everything was on the up an up. I think it boils down to a kid just being a kid without any of the preconceived notions we have of race etc.
One last drawing of his - It was a "GO USA" drawing with the starts and stripes etc. He made around September 11. On the bottom he drew the two towers with a plane flying towards it. I'm amazed at his understanding of all of this since he was born in 2003.
He wrote a letter to people who deploy overseas from my work. He asked me how to spell the word Mercy, and I was surprised by that and wondered what context he was using it in. I read the letter after he was done and it had the usual stuff "thank you for protecting us, come home safe we need you" and then he had this killer line in there "Go USA, No Mercy, Go Freedom".
He's a real loving kid and a great help around the house. lol kids.
