"There is no Such Thing as Squash" or "In Hunter's World"

      In this world you shall have tribulations....but not in Hunters world.  At least not anything that would last longer than five minutes,  like Dads spankings or Moms fussing at you, but nothing more serious than that.  Of course the world as Hunter knows it will come to an end if his sister gets to watch "Alice in Wonderland" when he wanted to watch "Ninja Turtles"  , or the days that "Batman" doesn't come on T.V at all .  But, in Hunters world, if you just think for a second, you can BECOME Batman or anything else you want to be.  Moms black slip makes a great cape and an old box is the perfect Bat-mobile.  But don't take more than a second because there is no such thing as patience in Hunters world and definitely no such thing as sitting still.  The punishment for sitting still in Hunter's world is very sever! You could be kissed by an old lady wearing lipstick or, heaven forbid, you might fall asleep.  No-one ever wants to fall asleep in Hunter's world.  If you do you will surely miss out on all the finer things in life.
     In this wonderful world everyone is four years old and knows everything about everything.  Everything that is except how to read, but that is what a big sister is for, and who cares about reading when you can get someone else to do it for you.
    In Hunter's world nothing is too big, or out of reach.  Just a little bit of mind over matter will get you anything you want, and you want everything!  This world is like a little piece of heaven.  You never get too sick to run outside in your underwear and there is never any pain.  You can jump over the last few steps on the stairs, roll a few feet and smash head first into the bottom edge of the piano and jump up untouched and happy as a lark, because you are the "Crimson Avenger" and you have power in your sword!
   Eating in Hunter's world is a fun thing to do if you have the time.  But who has time?  Someone always needs to be saved or your sister has turned you into a kitten.  If you do take time to eat you stand in your chair and talk nonstop with your mouth full.  Of course, clothes are not allowed, so you will be eating in your underwear with your gun stuck through the elastic.   When you are finished eating you jump off your chair to save the world and always spill your milk.  Messes, after all, are necessary in Hunter's world.  They are the essence of life!  To go a day without a few messes means a trip to the doctor, and no-one wants to go to the doctor in Hunter's world.
   What about brushing your teeth you ask?  HA!  We laugh at toothpaste!  There are a million things you can do to keep from doing that!  Remember, you are a "Pow-wa Ranger" and you can turn yourself into a robot.  Robots don't have teeth.
   In Hunter's world there is no bedtime.  There is only that time after the sun has gone to bed, and everyone else in the house too, when you switch your imagination to auto-pilot and allow your massive set of muscles to rest while you dream of more adventures.  As soon as the first adventure dream is over though, you climb out of your small bed and go to the biggest bed int he house where you press your cold piggie toes against the grown up next to you, then a new day begins.
   Breakfast is served on demand while you watch "Bowinkle Moose" or "Tiny toons" on the floor of the living-room.  Your juice (apple of course) will be served in your very own "Barney" sippy cup, filled to the top and turned just right so you see Barney's face with every sip.  If for some reason, Mom doesn't get this right, you can take it back and show her how to do it.  Be kind though, remember, Moms don't know as much as those in Hunter's world.
     I've heard people say that cooking is girl stuff, but not in Hunter's world.  Macaroni and cheese with hot dogs is a gourmet treat and everyone wants to put the cheese in.  Going to church is not a sissy thing either, after all, Brian is there and Brian is Robin!
    Your life long verse will be " I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength"  You know that God has power and that makes Him pretty cool.
   The sad thing about Hunter's world to us mere mortals, is that in his world there is no-one else but Hunter  From time to time he will allow a sister or friend to join him, or on rare occasions even Mom or Dad, but you cant stay there, it is a world belonging only to him.  It is a wonderful world where there is no such thing as squash.
