Megatron

On a recent trip to Universal,  (I know, my kids are delightfully lucky to go to theme parks on a whim)  the restaurants were very busy.  It seemed strange since it was 2 pm.  Andrew took the kids to the parade while I looked for food for all of us.  Hungry kids at a park isn't a fun adventure and we avoid it at all costs.

When Andrew walked around the corner, on his way back to me, he encountered the Transformers character meet and greet.  Lane froze.   She would not walk when she saw Megatron. 

 

Gabriel ran past Andrew toward the character section.  Gabriel kicked Megatron with all his might before two security guards whisked him away.  Andrew apologized profusely and realized Lane was still frozen and Alex had walked away. Poor Andrew was stuck gathering the scattered children in a crowded tourist area. 

Gabriel had a slight meltdown before we ate lunch. His lovely mood had turned to tears and busts of yelling about the injustices of the world.  (Sigh, insert his much I hate autism here). 

Andrew explained the character situation to me.  During the conversation, Gabriel told us that he kicked Megatron to protect his sister!  Oh my goodness, hoe could we stayed frustrated with that reasoning and logic.  Since the boys were little, he's told them it's their job to protect their sister.  They are listening!
