The Translucent Bad Guys

This is something I never thought I'd be playing.  Caleb made up a game today called, "Good Guy Destroyer".  I left some rocks and a flag out from Nathan's Eagle Court of Honor last night.  Caleb was bored and didn't want to play with his toys, so of course rocks and a flag make perfect toys, right?  (Actually I don't think they're rocks, they're more like marble type things.  But my kids call them rocks, so for the purpose of this post we'll call them rocks.)  He was showing me how some of the rocks were clear and how you could see through them and how some were solid.  We had a fun, impromptu lesson about transparent, translucent and opaque and he caught on quickly.  Caleb told me, "I LOVE the translucent ones!  Let's play a game.  I'll be the evil flag with translucent minions.  We'll call them The Tranlucents" You be the transparent and opaque guys together and you'll be the good guys."  I don't know how to play battle.  I have tried to learn this all my life, but I just don't know what to do.  So I suggested we just be friends.  He didn't like that.  He cracks me up!
