Super Heroes Wear Floaties

Where would we be without our Super Heroes? 

·         Batman & Robin – as soon as the bat phone rings or the bat light shines, Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson don their suits to take on Gotham City with the ever intensifying, yet coolest modes of transportation.

·         Captain America – enhanced to the peak of human perfection by an experimental serum, Steve Rogers is armed with an indestructible, boomerang-like shield.  It’s a weapon that can both destroy and defend as each crisis dictates.

·         The Incredible Hulk - when angered, Dr. Bruce Banner’s congenial persona explodes into a gigantic, green, irradiated, mutated humanoid monster with incredible strength.  Evil doers need beware.

·         Spiderman, after suffering a radioactive spider bite, Peter Parker is quick to find himself swinging off buildings with his web-shooters, using his spider sense, and fighting crime in every way he can (when he’s not in school).

·         Superman, one of the original super heroes, Clark Kent poses as an employee at the Daily Planet newspaper by day.  By night however, he is the mask wearing, cape flapping, Lois Lane courting, steel bodied, speeding bullet of a crime stopper.

·         Thor – this hammer wielding god is the perfect specimen of manliness (for the ladies), with thunder, lightning, storms, oak trees, strength, the protection of mankind, and also hallowing, healing and fertility (for the men).

Though each the above are viable stars and rake in movie money hand over fist (especially when joining forces), my favorite Super Hero is my grandson.  He has all the costumes, which he is unafraid of mixing and matching to create his own brand of super hero capabilities.  It’s unbeknownst to him that this can be a little confusing for those around him to compete against.  Regardless, his partner in crime, Princess Leia (the family pup), wreak havoc upon the neighborhood together as they disperse their own brand of super heroism - tough as nails until snack time.  My little super hero still takes the occasional nap, converses only until what needs to be communicated is complete, loves his Super Hero bedroom, and yes, wears floaties in the pool.
