My son says the same thing every night as I put him to bed. It’s our little mantra before sleep comes to claim us.
“I wish people had super powers.”
I smile the same smile I give him every night as I lean over and kiss his forehead. “Like what?”
“Like super strength, or flying, or a magic ring.”
My son is eight years old, and even though the world has changed a lot since his mother died, it is still composed of pretty basic constructs. There’s good, and there’s evil. Right and wrong. Strong and weak.
