Superbear
Yesterday Sebastian went to have his five-year-old pictures taken. The last few times hadn't gone well; the people at The Picture Place really didn't seem to be able to take good pictures. And it wasn't that Sebastian wasn't posing well, or anything like that. Usually the problem was that the pictures were coming out so incredibly dark that you could hardly see his features.
This time they'd switched to digital equipment, and the results were a hundred times better. And he posed wonderfully. So as a reward, Teri's mother bought him a Superman costume for his bear, Harry Bear, from Build-A-Bear. He'd have preferred Spiderman, but they were all out.
Anyway, this morning I was riding in the back seat with Sebastian, who of course had brought Superbear with him. As we played and talked, I had an outbreak of geekiness. I noticed that Superbear had a utility belt with an odd symbol on it; I didn't remember the symbol from the comics or movies. But it any case it suddenly struck me that it was ridiculous for Superman to wear a utility belt. It was a pure rip-off of Batman!
"Sebastian, why does Superman wear a utility belt? He doesn't need it! He has super-strength, super-hearing, x-ray and heat vision...he even has super-breath! Why does he need a utility belt?"
"To hold up his pants, Daddy!"
