i am batman

your son,
when he was four
or five
wore
superhero
costumes all
day.
batman,
spiderman,
the mask,
the cowl and
cape.
the boots.
he would use
a different
voice, depending
on who he
was that day.
at the beach,
in a
grocery store,
people
would stop
him and say hello,
to which he'd
say in a deep
gravely voice.
I am batman.
so now when you
see him on stage
you understand,
this has been
going on for
a very long time.
