Superheroes II

When I wrote yesterday’s post on Superheroes, I was totally unaware that my 5-year-old granddaughter has been wearing a Superman costume around the house the past several days.  Says Annabeth, “I am Wonder Woman, and Owen is Super Baby. We've been saving our Carebears from evil fox critters.”

Classic superhero stuff:  Good vs. Evil!

If I could sit down and teach my grandkids a few things about superheroes, I'd include the following information:

• Every superhero is unique.  The same is true of us.
• Being different can give you super power.  Use your unique gifts to good use by serving others.
• Even superheroes experience adversity.  “Why do was fall? So we can pick ourselves back up.” —  Batman
• Life, even for superheroes, gets frustrating.  Perseverance is a superpower.
• Superheroes (including police officers, firefighters, EMT’s, military, Annabeth’s dad) overcome their fears and run toward danger to help.
• “You’re much stronger than you think you are. Trust me.” — Superman
• “Life doesn’t give us purpose.  We give life purpose” — The Flash
• “Someone must have ripped the ‘Q’ our of my dictionary, ‘cause I don’t know the meaning of the word ‘suit’.” — Mr. Furious

Finally, you don’t have to have superpowers to be a superhero.  You’ll be amazed at all the superhero things you can accomplish with a powerful mind, ambition, compassion, humility, etc.

Oh, and remember, you don’t have to try to save the world alone.  Batman has Robin, Sherlock Holmes has Dr. Watson, The Green Hornet has Kato, and . . .

Annabeth The Wonder Woman has her faithful sidekick, Owen The Super Baby. 





I can't wait to see their next adventure. 

What’s your next action adventure?
