Yesterday, I took time off work to help out with a Halloween party at my daughter’s school. This included the kids getting their Halloween costumes on and parading through the neighborhood.
So the big costume for boys at this school was Spider-Man. It was basically one big Spider-Man vs. Ninjas showdown, with a few firemen and vampires thrown in for good measure.
We’re waiting in the hall to go outside when a group of students stops near us. Some kid in a ninja outfit notices that we’ve got two kids in Spider-Man costumes next to each other and says,
“Hey, you’re Spider-Man and he’s Spider-Man.”
The first grader holds up two fingers and replies without missing a beat,
“Un unh — I’m Spiderman II.”
