Superheroes - liability issues, panties and the underdog
"Spiderman, Spiderman.
Spiderman can do things that you can't do!"
In reality, the lyrics are that Spiderman can do things only a spider can. However, I am thinking with all of the "Kids, don't try this at home" disclaimers out there, that Josiah has adapted the lyrics to a more holistic understanding of Spiderman's powers - skirting any possible liability issues.
Along the lines of Superhero lore, it is interesting to note that Josiah is recently fascinated by what superheroes wear, observing: "Mom, Superman and a lot of superheroes wear their panties on the outside of their clothes." Yes, yes they do. When he asked, "Why, mom?" I couldn't exactly say. Although I suppose that if I were that super, I would see it as a taunt to all of my enemies. "Ha Ha -take that you evil scum! I am so super that I can beat you in my undies!"
Finally, one note on Aquaman: he is Jason's favorite superhero. Jason has passed along this devotion to Josiah - as you can see in his story below. One must observe that perhaps this love of the underdog superhero is what has gotten Jason through his many years as a Mizzou fan.

Too cute. Tell Josiah he is a very good story teller and singer! I am sure Jack will watch these videos many many times tomorrow.
