You're doing it wrong

[captain_slinky]

Molly got up at 5:30 this morning, and has been obsessed with the early 1970's Batman cartoon ("The New Adventures of Batman and Robin", the one with Bat-Mite). Every so often she starts in n me, asking "Daddy! Daddy! You be Robin! Pleeeeeeease?"

And I try. I say stuff like "Holy Hole-In-A-Donut, Batman!" and try to help her flip around like Batman (or Batgirl), but she just get's frustrated with me.

"No, Daddy... not like THAAAAT! You. Be. ROBIN! Pleeeeeeeeease? Pleeeeeeeease you be Robin?"

I... I don't know how to BE mre Robin than that! Does she need me to get a mask? A costume? A barely heterosexual relationship with an older father figure who has abandonment issues???

Is she being Batman?

Maybe she wants you to let her call all the shots? Ask her what the plan is? Point out the obvious so you can both feel better about wearing underwear over your tights?
