Barrett - Why does Luke like trucks so much?

Me - Why do you like Power Rangers so much?

Barrett - Because they fight....and I like their Samurizers.

Me - Well Luke likes that trucks drive!

Barrett - But Luke gets to see the things he loves...I don't get to see the things I love.


Anyone wanna dress up like a Power Ranger and come surprise Barrett with a visit?!

"I'm gonna be a Power Ranger when I grow up!"

This morning Barrett decided that instead of being a Texas Rangers baseball player when he grows up...he wants to be a Power Ranger.  I told him that Power Rangers are actors.  I don't think he understands what that means.  I tried to explain to him as in someone named John Smith plays Jayden the red Power Ranger...but that after they finish filming him, he goes home to a normal house.  I don't think he believes me.  Here's a bit of our conversation this morning:

Momma: The actors probaby live in Hollywood and that's where they film the Power Rangers shows.
barrett: Well then I guess I'll move to Hollywood.
M: But I thought you wanted to live next door to Brody when you grow up?
b: But we don't have any gap sensors here!
M: What's a gap sensor?
b: It's what tells you if a nylock (bad guy) is coming.
M: Maybe you can buy one somewhere.
b: I don't think so.  I've never seen them buy one. 
M: Maybe you should ask Camden.  He got samuraizers somewhere. (Camden....the blame for this new obsession!...had a Power Rangers birthday party.  He went to a bunch of AT&T stores with his mom and got old display phones to pass out to the kids at the party.  These are their samuraizers!)
b: Those aren't REAL samuraizers!  Those are just toys. 
M:  Oh.  Well I'm sure you'll get a real one when you're a real Power Ranger.
b:  But how will I train?  The real Power Rangers have been training since they were little kids!  They train with wooden swords.  I don't have a wooden sword!
M:  You can use some of the bamboo at Daddy Steve & Namaw's house.
b:  That's not a wooden sword!
M:  They make some floors that look like wooden floors out of bamboo...so I'm sure the bamboo would work as a wooden sword.
b:  Well...I'll have to add and handle too it...and I'll have to train every day.  I know what they do to train.  What color will I be?  There's already a red, yellow, blue, pink, gold, and green.  Maybe I can be an orange Power Ranger?
M: That would work.  You already have a lot of orange from your Marlins gear.
b: But what will my power be?  The fire smasher is awesome...but Jayden already has fire smasher.
M:  You'll probably have your own power.
b:  Ok.  You know I'll still come visit you when I live in Hollywood as Power Ranger....but I guess that's only if I decide I don't want to be a Texas Rangers baseball player.

I'm so glad our kids dream big!  lol!
