How Do You Get the Hulk Dressed?

I'd already given in and let my 4 year old "Hulk" wear his purplish blue shorts for the second day in a row. I did insist that at least he put on clean underwear.

   Clayton:  "Does Bruce Banner wear underwear under his purple pants?"

    Me:  "Yes!"

That done, we move on to:

  "Okay, Hulk, put on your shirt."

   "Hulk hates that shirt!  It has a bomination on it!"

   "Okay, how about this shirt"

Hulk proceeds to turn down 4 shirts in a row, throwing them, each in turn, vehemently on the ground. Finally I catch on: Hulk doesn't wear shirts.

    "There are four shirts. Hulk had better pick one and put it on, or Hulk can't go to the park."

    "...and then Hulk gets a headache," as he's holding his head, hunkering down, and pretending to shrink, "and he turns back into Bruce Banner, and puts his shirt on."
