Ivan: what's jail, superheros, gravity and bunnies

"Mama, what's jail?" was Ivan's first question to me as he came to my bed.
"Aaahhh, it's were bad guys go after police catch them," I tried to answer.
"And in jail they eat disgusting food, yeah," Ivan replied.
"I don't want dada to be a bad guy," he said after some pondering.
"Dada and mama are good guys," I answered.
"What are superheros?"

These are all new concepts for him. He must have heard them last night during the playdate with Andre,
who's really into action heros and superheros and is a year older. Andre has superhero costumes and other paraphernalia.

Ivan really enjoyed playing with him, but I knew that all that  pretend play world was new to him. The only pretend game we play at  home is "Waterfall Mountain."

If he plays alone, he's always building and constructing something. Lately it's been bridges.

Other questions and statements from today included:
Mama, what's gravity?
Mama, bunnies don't let people eat carrots.
