Zombie and Werewolf Lessons

My impressionable E is 4 years old, and he has always loved "smokey music." Somewhere along the way, he decided that "spooky" things were actually supposed to be called "smokey" things, and we haven't dissuaded the kids from this little mix up.

Last Halloween, when he was 3, his dad introduced him to Thriller, by Michael Jackson, and he loved it! Remembering the awesome dance moves but forgetting the realistic zombies and werewolves therein, Mr. P decided to put the music video on the TV for him to watch! E was completely traumatized and talked about it non stop all evening and into the next day. After putting our heads together, we decided to show E "the making of" video so he could see how normal people were transformed into very smokey characters.

Parenting sure does keep you on your toes. 

This is how my darling 4-year-old son is desensitized to realistic images of zombies and werewolves. And although he has never (and will never) seen The Walking Dead, he fell in love with this zombie fabric. It's very stretchy and at least as soft as LLR leggings. This is the new PIP pattern from Duck Butt Designs, and this is his first pair of paints with his new fabric - a gory soft surprise from me and my upcycled gray t-shirt in the morning.
