I am Optimus Prime!!
March 27th, 2010
A few days I knelt on the floor being soaked by my own son’s blood. He had fallen and gotten a spectacular gash on his forehead. Who knew that three says later he would be doing this…
I just wanted a picture of the stitches. But unexpectedly he started chanting, I am optimus prime. Dozens of times. I flipped the camera over to video mode and shot away. It was in no way planned, and I caught a fraction of the total number of chants. I take it that he likes the transformers.
On the operating table, he dealt with all the strangeness and pain the same way, apparently shooting missiles out of his forearms and grappling evil robots. The nurses got a chuckle.

Thanks Chinua!!That is a spectacular gash, and a spectacular kid. He has the leadership inside of him…indeed!!
I’m curious, how does he know about Optimus? Comics? Animated series? The latest film? I’m fascinated!!
P.S. Bumblebee rocks too.

So i bought the transformers video game, for the kids of course “cough cough” and they fell in love. so i try you tubing it and low and behold, every season is on there, including the amazing animated transformers movie from 1986. god bless you tube!
the new movies are alright i guess, but the old stuff still has alot of power over me. i mean, i choked back tears when optimus died, his ashen steel jaw moving for the last time, those epic last words rolling away like clouds after a storm. “till all are one” he intones in his deep gravely, almost godlike voice. i watch in horror as the light in his cobalt blue eyes flickers out slowly, and a great hero passed from the earth.

I’m impressed that you are imparting the values of our generation to your kids. Do you think that Kai is ready for the A-team yet?
