Four-year-old Power Ranger thwarts robbery! →[More:]Yet another reason why four is, without question, my very favorite age.

Mine didn't scare off any bad guys today, but she did make me a robot to help around the house. He's called "The Doing Things 6000" and features space-age Play-Doh and rock construction.

This is the best news story I've read in WEEKS.

Here's a picture of Mighty Morphin Power Ranger Stevie Long.

Also: "Evans said family members are struggling to help their children understand their ordeal. A counselor said Stevie needs to improve his distinction between fantasy and reality, said Heather Evans, Stevie's aunt."

Well that counselor sounds like a full-on killjoy.

Thank God they were so confused by Stevie's appearance that they left. I'm just glad they didn't shoot him as a reaction.
Good for you, Stevie!!!! You really did scare the bad guys!

I like how little Stevie went to get the guy a cigarette. Classy.

And I guess this makes a nicer story than "4 Year Old Shot in Head by Surprised Robber."

Wait, do you want me to beat you? ;^)

No, beat ME! I deserve punishment at least as much as chococat!

(and yeah, great article!)

The instant I posted that comment I regretted the phrasing.

I'd be more worried about the four year-old if he *hadn't* thought he really transformed. What the heck is that counsellor thinkings?!
