actual conversation, moments ago

Me: Is Elizabeth [our daughter] dressed?

My wife: Yes, but I'm getting her a different pair of pants.

Me: What's wrong with the pants I got her?

My wife: Nothing. It's just that they're purple and don't go with the green shirt.

Me: Green and purple always go together in the comics.

My wife: Yes, but our daughter isn't the Joker.

  1. My daughter often pretends to be fighting the Joker. She'd be all over that decision.

  2. Elizabeth Smash?

    (not unless she's grown a lot since last time I saw her... which she probably has... but not that much...)

  3. Zach, your kid and my kid ought to get together and have some super-shenanigans.

  4. She might not be the Joker (yet) but if she's gonna be a superhero, the sooner she adopts the 4-color style palette the better I say.

  5. Love it! This really made me laugh, thanks Jeff. Your wife sounds like a hoot!

  6. Funny story :) My son likes to wear his spiderman night shirt under his school clothes. I am pretty sure he thinks he is Peter Parker.

  7. However, this still leaves open the possibility of the Hulk, the Green Goblin, Mysterio, the Prowler, and the Wrecker, so you can get it through on a technicality!

  8. Kelvingreen: Or just opt for the Impossible Man, and you can be anybody AND always be purple and green :)
