conversation at breakfast

Luc: You know, Mommy, there’s not just the Green Incredible Hulk.

Me: Oh?

Sophie: Well, yeah, there’s Grey Hulk.

Luc: No. No. Mommy. Mommy, [mischievous grin] there is also the RED Hulk.

Me: [eating toast] Red hulk?

Luc: Yes. Yes. FIRE Red Hulk. He can walk on lava.

Sophie: [Liking the sound of this] That’s right. He can walk on lava and he has fire on his body and he never gives up.

Me: Wow. I did not know that.

Luc: And, and, and there is also BLUE Hulk. Blue Hulk is really, really, really, really strong and he holds fishes, and he’s really nice.

Me: So he’s kind of a watery hulk?

Sophie: Yes. Water Hulk. And he can hold his breath and put his face under.

Luc: [on a roll now] Yes. And there’s WHITE Hulk.

Sophie: Oh, yeah, he’s really dangerous.

Me: Why is that?

Sophie: Because he can sneak up on you, without being seen, and tickle you, and blow around, and make you cold even in summer.

Luc: And, and, White Hulk can fly, too.

Me: Hang on, I want to write this down.

Luc: Okay. And write down about METAL Hulk.

Me: Metal Hulk?

Luc: Yes. Yes. He has screws on his body to protect himself. And if someone shoots him, he stays standing up.

Sophie: And there’s also YELLOW Hulk, right? He gives light and sunshine and his nose is shaped like this [makes cryptic motion on her face].

Luc: Yes, yes, and he has spiny spines down his back, and he has yellow eyes. And he’s yellow.

Me: This guy sounds pretty spooky.

Sophie: Yeah.

Luc: And there is MONEY Hulk.

Me: [laughing] Money Hulk?

Sophie: He has slots in his body that money comes out, and he wears a suit made out of money. And he lives in a bank.

Luc: No, Sophie. You can’t make a suit out of money.

Sophie: Yes you can. You just take a whole lot of money and you weave it together. [more cryptic hand motions]

Luc.: Oh.

Sophie: And there’s Orange Hulk! He doesn’t have feet. He has a long gloopy thing like a slug, and he has two fingers, and when he walks around this orange sludge comes out of him.

Luc: And he’s naked.

Sophie: Yes.

Luc: And there’s Black Hulk.

Me: Wait a minute. So how many hulks are there?

Luc: Well, Mom, [like this is totally obvious] there’s all the kinds of Hulks. All. That’s be cause they’re not extinct.

Me: Okay. All kinds. God it.

Sophie: Could you put some more jam on my toast?

Me: Absolutely.
