I’m reposting an old post that I have been thinking about. I thinkthat some of you may have seen it but some of you haven’t…
The kids came home from school today and we all squeezed into the jeep to head downtown to the local game store and joke shop, Hocus Pocus. Charlie and Isabelle have been wanting to get a game called Munchikin and had decided to pool some of their money and get it. When we arrived they were disappointed to find that it was sold out. The store carried several other versions though and so the negotiations began. Charlie wanted Munchikin Bites…Werewolves and vampires, Isabelle wanted Super Munchikin, superheroes. I don’t have to worry about Isabelle, like a little woman she said “Listen we’re using more of my money. I want Supermunchikin. So if we don’t get the one I want we’re not getting one.” To which Charlie’s response was “Okay.” Boy she’s a little mercenary.
We’re in the car on the way home and Ben is reading the game cards out loud. One of which is Free Invisible Monkey Sidekick. I said “Yeah just what I’ve always wanted a monkey sidekick… well not really. What kind of sidekick would you guys want?” Without pause to consider Charlie pipes up with “I want a giant talking pelican so I could climb into his mouth and yell ’To the sky! ’” I could just picture it, him in the mouth pouch of a giant pelican with his little head sticking out arm and fist thrust towards the sky. “You’ve thought about this before.” I said to which he said “Yeah!” Like it was stupid that I hadn’t…
Can I just say I’m so happy my life amuses me.
Now I know you see it coming… What kind of sidekick would you want? I know we’ve all thought about what super power we would want. Invisibility and flying of course. You haven’t…oh come on I know you have. But I’ve never really thought about who I’d want at my side, much to my sons chagrin. So again. What kind of sidekick would you have? or who?

Never thought about a sidekick, but she would be special. lol
you’re kids are funny
thanks so much for thinking of me
not sure what kind of sidekick i’d want…..i’ll have to think on this one
I don’t need a sidekick or super powers! I have you! The ultimate sidekick!
PS I need to kick your tail at some games I bought!
Thanks =]
I’d have Batman as my sidekick. Because he’d treat Robbin better if he had to be someone’s bitch for a while.
Do you talk about my flying dromedars, my sable tooth tigers or the mighty tropical forest plants (growing over parts I don’t wish to see)? Mostly I try to be my own sidekick but get tired of leadership conflicts…
Thank you. x]
I don’t think I’m a sidekick type of person.
Hum.. you ask for it! Mine was Jane Russel! I made first post for the challenge today!
Hmmmm…. Captain Jack, yeah… Captain Jack, I think we would have rip-roaring adventures. Oh, and I can so write a post about that, because I have several times.
Hugs, Tricia
Well I still like my invisible friends I met at the walking park.
The tractorsaurus rex is very good company for sure.
Plus he is big enough to beat everyone up.
Sorry I ddnt say anything when I checked in on you from my other site.

Be good and have fun with your supermunchkin.
The amusements of the everyday are all in being open to seeing them…
I wish that I had written down all the things my kids said when they were little that made me smile or laugh. Really. I thought I would never forget, but I have forgotten much of it. This story definitely made me smile! I’d have to pick the Incredible Hulk to be my sidekick. A normal companion most of the time but able to kick the bad guys butt’s when necessary. Peace
What an imagination, and here all I ever wanted was a dog.
I want a side kick who would be like the Tasmanian devil but instead of leaving a trail of mess behind everything would be turned neat and tidy… so I could cook dinner then they can swoop in, in a whrill wind and the kitchen would be spotless!!!
