Out of the blue one day the girl says Tell me a story about the hulk.
Now I know that she knows something about superheros. After all Spiderman was fixture at her nursery, with her being shown Spiderman cartoons (I've no idea which ones) on some of the off days. She recognises Superman and Batman and Spiderman and Wonderwoman, but beyond the cape means they can fly
I'm not sure she knows what they're all about. All I can tell is that she knows just enough about superheros to understand that they are more like fairly tales or myths.
So I try to explain to her The hulk has anger problems and when he gets really upset he turns into a giant green rage monster. And feels the need to break things around him.
Also, when he gets mad he also loses his grammar and speaks about himself in the third person. He calls himself Hulk instead of Bruce – possibly it's a self esteem thing. So he says Hulk Smash
instead of I'm so angry I could break things.
She pauses for a bit and thinks about what I said. And comes back with So after going to the loo he says
Hulk wash hands!
instead of I need to wash my hands.
?
Clearly she seems to have gotten the basics of the Hulk.
