Sometimes I wonder if my 3-year old is headed for trouble when he gets older. My 4-year old is sweet and loves everything happy, funny, smiley and good. Little Brother could not be more opposite.
One of their favorite movies is The Lion King and of course Big Brother loves all the happy parts. He could sing Hakuna Matata in his sleep. Little Brother on the other hand thinks Scar is the best thing since sliced bread and loves the part where Scar does his song and dance about killing Mufasa. What the heck? I hated that part of the movie when I was a kid.
He likes everything that is bad.
We watched ET for the first time the other day. Big Brother goes, "Mommy, I like good aliens." and Little Brother, right away says in the little voice he uses when he wants to sound menacing, "Mommy, I like the bad aliens."
I guess he doesn't always like the bad guys. Sometimes he comes up with long random explanations detailing what he would do to a bad guy. "Mommy, if I saw *insert bad guy here* I would punch him and kick him and break his arm and throw a bed on him and then I would smash him and lawnmower him until he was dead." Where does he come up with this stuff? I'm not sure if his zeal for 'lawnmowering' a bad guy makes me feel much better than if he just liked the bad guy.
He does have a sweet side though; he just doesn't show it like Big Brother does. For example, the other night I was putting him to bed and he asked me if I was going to bed too. I explained that I had some things to do first. He asked if I was going to bed after that and I said yes. Then he started the 'menacing voice' and I waited to see what I was in for, but to my surprise he said, "Mommy, after you go to bed, I'm gonna get up and I'm gonna sneak in your bed and I'm gonna snuggle you."
Oh Little Brother.....
