Killer Moth

In honor of our upcoming series, "Superheroes," Madison and Daddy have been playing the Lego video game: "Batman." This is is Madison's introduction to the world of Batman, which is another one of those things she won't see for quite some time.

Yet, on this level, she does love it quite a bit. These Lego games have been fun for Madison and Daddy to do as recreation time. Yesterday was tennis outside, but today Daddy was a bit more tired so we stuck with video games on the X-box, battling the likes of Scarecrow, Mr. Freeze, and the Killer Moth.

Let me go ahead and say I've never heard of the Killer Moth. Sure, there's Joker and Catwoman, but Killer Moth? This sounds like something so lame, you didn't even see him on that 60's Batman television show. And that is the show that featured Egg Head and Olga Queen of the Cossacks!

Some research on the Killer Moth reveals he first showed up in 1951. This was a kinder, gentler time, when folks were apparently feeling more threatened by moths. Exactly one decade later, these feelings of fear towards moths - or mottephobia - would culminate with the ultimate expression of terror towards this insidious insect: "Mothra."

Madison does not fear moths, as clearly demonstrated by her attack moves against Killer Moth. This poor villain didn't stand a chance against Madison's superior skills - he was like a moth drawn to the flame!

"Less questions. More bashing and stealing!"
