Tonight The Boy taught us about a superhero named Fo-Gow Guy. He only comes out when people are in trouble. He only comes out at night. He can run faster than anybody and he has his own omelette station.

The Boy: Can we play hide and seek?

Me: Where?
The Boy: Not in your office!
Me: Are you going to hide in my office?
The Boy: Yeah.
