Good Guys and Bad Guys

Soren has a shifting fascination with various literary and cinematic characters - Brer Rabbit, Thomas, Curious George. Right now, he's mostly into "Boulder," an anthropomorphized rock with an irascible personality perched atop a lofty mountain. Most nights Soren asks me to sing him a bedtime song about how Curious George or some other reckless animal angers Boulder, knock him loose, and watches him roll down the mountain crushing everything in his path (trees, bridges, alpine villages, etc.). Last night, Soren told Katherine that sometime Boulder is good. Katherine asked him to clarify. To which he responded that Boulder is good when he crushes bad guys, and bad when he crushes good guys.
