This past weekend my son started asking us questions about Spiderman and the robot armed bad guy he fights. Well this lead to a big talk where I filled him in on the basics of the superhero world. Things like… secret identities, super villains, special powers, vigilantes (like Batman), etc.

His favorite hero right now is Spiderman. We got him a couple Spiderman toys and it’s all he can talk about right now. It is so amazing to hear him make the toys have conversations about their super powers. Have you ever listened to two Spidermans debating about who has the better powers? He is also into asking me and mommy lots of questions about superheros. Last night, when they picked me up from the train, I got into the car and Quincy asked…

Daddy, can you talk about Superman’s super bad guys?

Well, as you can imaging, I did my best to fill him in. It is a lot of fun teaching my son about such a fun topic.
