This young man is our 4-1/2-year old great-grandson, Andrew James Baltazar. As he is known, A.J was visiting us during the holidays (he lives in Arizona), and during his visit, he was wearing a Spiderman costume. So I thought I would have some fun with him, just like I used to with our kids and grandkids. When our kids and grandkids were small, I used to tell them all kinds of crazy stories. Stories of how I would fight the Indians as a cowboy in the 1880s. And how I was a fighter pilot during WWII, and some other stories too crazy to mention here.
So I thought this 4 1/2-year-old kid would be a pushover for my crazy stories. I started by telling him that I used to be Spiderman and climb the walls of buildings and walk on rooms ceilings. He looked me straight in the eyes and said, "you lie" Smart kid, I said to myself. But, I pushed on, "no, I can really climb the walls and walk on ceilings, and I could do it right now." Again, looking me straight in the eyes, he said, "I dare you" so, I said, okay, "but I'll need to borrow your Spiderman costume to do it" the kid looked at me and said, "you can't" I asked why not and he replied "because I'll be naked" Lol. I think I found my match in this beautiful great-grandson - Love you, Andrew.
