Laundry is my superpower
I've mentioned that Henry has learned all about Spiderman at school-- I even caught him doing the thing with his hands to let the web shoot out from the wrist. He's now invented a superhero persona for himself: FireMan. FireMan doesn't put out fires; he shoots out fire. "Owen is Spiderman, Mom, and I'm FireMan." I think the red-garbed PowerRanger is what he imagines FireMan to look like. Yesterday I asked him if FireMan had a theme song. (no) And where does he shoot fire out of-- his ears? his eyebrows? Henry didn't know. "What is your superpower?" Clearly, he hadn't thought this superhero thing through. A little while later, Henry was clamoring to do something with Daddy, so Daddy suggested folding laundry upstairs. "Very manly," I reinforced (Michael does all the laundry in our house). As Henry was going up the stairs, he turned back. "Folding laundry is my superpower, Mom!"
