Superhero

This afternoon Green Pea came to me with three pieces of Kleenex scotch-taped together lengthwise.
Green Pea: Can you put this in my back?
M.E.: Why?
Green Pea: (nonchalantly, as if it's perfectly obvious) For a cape.
M.E.: Ok. (I stop rinsing the dishes and step away from the sink, looking around the kitchen for a towel)
Green Pea: (impatiently, with a bit of exasperation) But don't touch it with wet hands!
M.E.: Don't worry, I'll dry them. (I proceeded to dry my hands and went to grab his "cape")
Green Pea: (with distrust, grabbing my hand and inspecting it for stray moisture) Let me check them.

After I secured the "cape" to the back of his shirt, he proceeded to dance around the house singing about how he's a superhero and he's off to save the world and the world is waiting for him. Then he decided he should pack a snack in case he got hungry while he was saving the world. He got his lunch bag and I heard the refrigerator open. A little while later he asked if I could cut up some strawberries for his snack. Even superheroes need their mommies.
