My son is still figuring out the differences between video games/movies/cartoons and reality. He’s seen some of the 1980’s Transformers cartoons and I’ve shown him a few clips from the live action movies. In his mind he’s seen some fun cartoons and video of real live Transformers.

“You want to change your name to Mario?”
“No, I want to change it to Princess Peach.”
“Noooo!”
My Dad had a Mario who worked for him when I was a kid, I thought it was silly his parents named him for a video game. Dad boggled my mind when he told me that Mario was OLDER than the game. How could that be possible??
My nephew and I went to see the first live-action TF movie, because it opened on his birthday, and when Prime asked if Sam’s name was “Samuel James Witwicky,” we went nuts. My name is Sam James. Nothing like having your mind blown by a fictional robot when you’re in your 40s.
Sometimes, I get to help out my aunt during this afterschool program for kids. There’s a 5th grader there named Mario. He’s always asking me to draw him pictures of pokemon.
