Super Powers

Two incidents happened this February that I thought were worth sharing.

The first one happened on a lazy Sunday afternoon, when Pumpkin took me by surprise with this conversation:

Pumpkin: Papa, do you know how we fall down?
Papa: No, how do we fall down?

Pumpkin: You know God, right?
Pumpkin: God has a switch… like a button…

Pumpkin: When he presses that button, you fall down!

The second happened, just today, when I was helping her brush her teeth:

Pumpkin: Papa, you know Superman?
Papa: Yes, why?

Pumpkin: You know he carries all the food and water he needs.
Papa: Where?

Pumpkin: On his body… but you can’t see it ‘coz he’s Superman.
Papa: Why does he do that?

Pumpkin: So he can fly all the way from here to the Earth and have his food and water, if he needs to…

Papa: Pumpkin, how did you find this out?
Pumpkin: I figured it out myself!

Ah, to be a child again!
