in school this past week my daughter was part of a discussion in her classroom about superheroes.
the kids all went around the circle, talking about what they would choose for their power. a lot of kids said they would fly. a few said they would be invisible. some kids talked about changing into animals.
when it was my girl's turn, she simply said, "i don't want any superhero powers. i just want to be myself."
as the days tick closer to my fortieth birthday, i think of this moment, and realize that i want to be just like her when i grow up.
