Hero is Another Name for Daddy

My kids and I are comic book geeks. We love to watch superhero cartoons and movies. One of our favorite shows is Teen Titans. Although the series has been canceled for a few years, we still try to catch reruns whenever we can.

After watching the show one morning, the kids and I decided to analyze the episode.

“The thing I liked about this episode,” said my daughter, Nee. “Was that it was full of surprises.”

“Yes,” I agreed. “There were many plot twists.”

“It was interesting how the bad guy tricked Raven into believing he was the good guy,” she said.

“But he was really the dragon, right?” I said.

“Yeah,” Nee said. “He was the evil dragon.”

We continued with our discussion until I noticed a confused look on Nee’s face.

“What’s wrong, honey?” I asked.

“What was the hero’s name, by the way?” She asked. “I can’t remember. I think it began with ‘D.’”

“If it began with the letter ‘D,’” said my son, N. “Then the hero’s name was probably Daddy.”

Stay Strong,

    I don’t read comic books anymore, but I miss them. Whenever you sit with your kids and spend that kind of time analyzing it’s a good thing. I need to do that more often with my boys. With us it’s usually that we’re sitting there like three zombies, no thinking going on :-)

    Teen Titans is definitely a great cartoon. I must admit that my daughter and I record it on our DVR.

    Keep being Super Mocha!

    Ya, dad is always the hero… at least so far but then my daughter is only 20 months and apparently things change when the get older.

    Why can’t they just stay small?
