Let the Children's Imaginations Run Wild With Dressing Up For Boys

Every young boy has a vivid imagination, which is how nature intended it to be. As soon as they are able to absorb information, either by watching TV or reading novels and magazines, they tend to let their imaginations soar, imagining themselves in the role of some heroic character that they had recently seen or read about. With the wide variety of examples that they have available to them, they have more choices than ever to play pretend. They tend to almost always go for masculine roles, which is perfectly normal.

 

They can imagine themselves as a cowboy, riding through the windswept prairie chasing Indians, or they might fancy themselves an astronaut, walking silently along the moon, or cavorting through the weightlessness of space, unencumbered by such problems as gravity. Probably due to our inbred genetic makeup, they tend to gravitate towards fairly violent characters. It's not very often that you see a young boy pretending to be a scientist or a mathematician, or even a college professor.

They much rather pretend to be a pirate, roaming the seas in search of plunder, or a Roman gladiator, fighting off his enemies in front of adoring crowds. Policemen and soldiers are also favourite topics for these young boys, as they see a lot of them on TV and in magazines. It is often quite amusing to quietly watch a young boy role-play one of these characters, as they seem to get completely lost inside the character itself, and like any good actor, forget about what's around them. That explains the lamps that can get knocked over, or the bookcase that almost topples to the ground! Many times, their imaginations are so vivid, that they can still be in their pyjamas, and yet they slip completely into their favourite character, perhaps brandishing a ruler as a sword, or a plate as a shield.

Fortunately for these young and vivid imaginations, there are many opportunities for them to get completely into character. Dressing up for boys is a long and well-established tradition. It is common for many birthday parties, and even little plays that are put on at their school. But one of the greatest opportunities arrives at Halloween, where both boys and girls get a chance to dress up in their favourite character, march proudly through the neighbourhood, and even get rewarded for their imagination and creativity by receiving tasty treats from the neighbours. It's really too bad that the tradition can't extend to grown-ups. We could all use a little break from our daily lives, and pretend to be an adventurous character, and even get a little reward for the effort!
