Spiderman

In the car.

Sebastian: "Mom, Dad, I want a Spiderman suit."

Teri: "Well, baby boy, there are lots of Spiderman costumes in the stores now. We'll get you one soon."

Sebastian: "No, I don't want to be Spiderman for Halloween."

Me (guessing): "Sebastian, are you asking for one that shoots real webs, so you can really be Spiderman?"

Sebastian: "Yes! And a Spider-girl one for Jessica."
