Bloody mess

Picture 1An idea, I had to get my 5 year old engaged in his younger brother’s party, was that he performs a puppet show. He has a wooden theater and countless puppets. I was selecting a few when I noticed red marks.

I asked him why did he colour his toys and his reply was, “this is blood.”

“Why did you mark them like this?” I asked again

“They went to a volcano and they were not listening so they got blood.”

I was glad it was not a sword fight and I liked his creativity in marking different part of each puppet but told him it is better not to mark his toys like that. I don’t know if I should still be concerned about his idea of blood. I tried to recall my brother’s childhood and thought that boys usually like fighting games.

Going deep into his psychology was not my purpose and I continued trying to make a script to his show when he interrupted,”You make one and I will make one different.”

OK I believe in creativity but wanted to make sure his material made sense to everyone. So I said OK we will both say stories. He agreed but to get him to remember a script in few hours is asking too much from a 5 year old. I just hope he will not go into a bloody story.
