"Prepare to Die"


We all know that Zack has been obsessed with spatulas since he was very small. He even got three for Christmas. He used to carry them around and use them to flip toys, books, pancakes, and to stir raw eggs. Well now his spatulas have turned into swords thanks to the movie "Princess Bride" (Which sounds just like "Simbas Pride" when Zack says it). Zack fell in love with the sword fighting scene in this movie and now wants to fight with everyone. The funny part is that he is very serious about his moves and practices how his feet move and everything. While driving to Denver he learned to skip back and watched the sword fighting scene about 10 times before we took the DVD player away (As I type this, he is begging me to sword fight outside). Zack was thrilled to discover a perfect place to "fight" at the Capitol Reef National Park campground. It was a stage surrounded by a rock wall. To his three year old eyes, it looked just like the movie set. He would beg us to go down to it and fight with him. Often he would take his sword fighting stance and proclaim in a sinister voice, "Prepare to die!"
