This Saturday, Max is having his 5 year birthday party with about a dozen of his young friends. Max early on let us know that he wanted a Batman themed party. So we have purchased plates, napkins, cups, favors, etc. all with some sort of a Batman picture on it. We even have a pinata of Batman’s head.

This past weekend, Max asked me why I didn’t have a Batman birthday party when I was a little boy. Max knows that I my favorite superhero is Superman. He asked me why I liked Superman. I responded that I like Superman because ‘Superman fights for Truth, Justice and the American Way’. Max looked directly into my eyes and asked, ‘Are those the bad guys?’
