I WISH I HAD CLAWS!!!


After a long trip to San Diego to visit our friends in 2002 I had an incredible experience that can be summarized by this edited photo. We arrived at our friends very late and quickly got our children settled in sleeping bags on the floor. Wendie and I visited briefly with our gracious hosts and then we got settled on couches. I hadn't gotten to sleep when Thomas came up to me and insisted that I get something out of the car for him. It was cold and I thought it was an unnecessary request at such a late hour. After several unsuccessful attempts to persuade me to get the item Thomas became somewhat enraged. All but a few night lights were off in the house when Thomas, eerily illuminated, obviously disturbed and potentially possessed, stood there stiffly with his arms folded and teeth clamped together and growled, "I WISH I HAD CLAWS!!!" For a moment I was truly concerned for my personal well being and wondered how I could be the father of such a demon spawn. Fortunately the night passed without incident and after sending him to a "special school" Xavier has done wonders with my son (this is from the movie X-men).

I always thought there was something cool about Thomas. But I couldn't put my finger on it.
