Oct. 14th, 2007 06:57 amWe were given a lot of clothes for the Zweeble that didn't fit him right away, which is always good--it's not fun when the kid's going through a growth spurt and outgrows 89% of his clothes, it seems, overnight.**
Anyway, periodically I sweep through this stash and pull out the stuff that will fit him now. One of these outfits is a Spider-Man shirt that says "Spider-Man and Friends," with Spidey, Wolverine, and the Hulk on it. Wolverine and the Hulk are smiling--the Hulk has a decidedly goofy grin, actually.
Even if you aren't a comics geek, *everyone* knows one basic fact about Bruce [or David, whatever] Banner, right? "You wouldn't like me when I'm angry." It's a catch phrase--it's part of the collective pop culture unconscious.
So if the Hulk is smiling, then he probably shouldn't be the Hulk.
We won't even get into smiling Wolverine.
**Although an acquaintance of mine is having the opposite problem--she's pregnant and hasn't gotten any actual newborn/0-3 months clothes. Everything's for 6 months and up. Consider: the Zweeble tripled his size from birth 'til now, four days shy of six months.
