Engaging with Godzilla
I am Godzilla! Hear me roar!
“We are bad Godzillas!” I heard the familiar husky little voice of a 4-year-old student at my school while I was out working in the recess yard of my school. This boy, Vlad often exhibits a somewhat negative influence on the world around him, and is the source of many student complaints and staff hand-wringing. The verbal warning here was clear: Vlad, and his little three-year-old protégé, Thomas, were bent on destruction. They were out to terrorize the land. During their roaring parade through the yard, I overheard one teacher warn, “it’s okay to pretend to be Godzillas, but not really hurt.”
