If someone wrote a movie based on how I play with my son. Part 2: Spy movie.

Spy 1, wielding intricate weapon constructed out of many tiny, differently colored parts, confronts Spy 2, who is hunched over what appears to be a computer.

Spy 1: So. We meet again.

Spy 2: What? Oh. Yep.

Spy 1: Heh heh heh.

Spy 2: Hang on.

Spy 1: No, you're scared. I have a laser blaster poking you right in your head.

Spy 2: No, right, I'm terrified. I am! I'm just…uh…

Spy 1: HEY.

Spy 2: No, I'm trying to crack the code. The code that will, uh, destroy you!

Spy 1: Oh, no!

Spy 2: Oh yes! Hang on… I just have to hit "send"…

Spy 1: Are you sending … is that email?

Spy 2: Uh, yes, but I am sending it to my cohorts, who are coming to get you! Just as soon as I check something else on this, uh, death computer.

Spy 1: That's not a death computer. There's no such thing as a death computer.

He laser blasts Spy 2 in the skull.

Spy 1: I just laser blasted you right in the skull.

Spy 2: And yet I live! Hang on. I am trying to crack the, um, the other code.

Spy 1 slams the computer closed.

Spy 2: HEY.

Spy 1: Now I will torture you for hours! No help is coming!

Spy 2, sighing: I will find my cell phone and I will send the Text of Doom.

Spy 1: Too late. I've hidden your phone. IN MY LEGO BOX.

Spy 2: Oh, damn it.

I somehow feel that in both of these films, right before the credits roll, the camera should flash to a crying mime.

Mine goes just like that only it's death princesses and sea monsters. With the 10 year old it was dinosaurs and UFOs.

Totally. Yep. That's how it goes with the kids. I wonder about my own situation -- if the boy was a girl, would it be any different? Are Barbies any less awful to play with than evil space aliens (or in my case, Pokemon?)

I doubt it. Sigh.
