My son Julian is five and is a huge fan of zombies and skeletons. Riding in the car with him you get bombarded with questions like "What if there was a zombie and you had a pistol and you shot it in the eye, would it die? What if there was a zombie and it came after you and you kicked it in the penis, what would it do then? What if you had a machine gun, would a zombie run away?"
The other day he said he was afraid to go to sleep because a zombie might break into his window.
ME: Zombies are imaginary one will not do that in real life, just in movies and stories.
JULIAN: I'm still scared, what if one comes in the window?
ME: Zombies move slow, if one comes in the window yell at me and I will come.
JULIAN: What if it is one of the kind that sprint? He would get me before you get here.
I do not know where he came up with the term, but it is true now in movies that some zombies sprint and some do not. Julian sleeps in the top of a bunk bed so I gave him a rolled up magazine and told him to hit it in the nose until I get there if a sprinting zombie does happen to arrive. My boy is now prepared for the zombie apocalypse. |
