I ordered some little superhero toys off eBay for Julian, because he is so infatuated with all things superhero right now. I got a Spider Man and Wolverine that you have to put together and build, pretty cool and with redeeming educational value.

The other toy that I got was a Wonder Woman action figure, because:
1) I think Wonder Woman is cool.
2) I want Julian to see that women can be superheroes too.

We opened the Wonder Woman action figure first, and Julian was playing with her, flying her around. He suddenly stopped and asked me:
"Mommy, what superhero powers does Wonder Woman have?"

"Well, let's see. She has in invisible plane that she flies in. She has special bracelets that can deflect bullets and other weapons, if someone tries to shoot at her or throw something at her. She has a magic lasso, which I think she can use to tie people up and then make them tell the truth? Not sure about that one..."

I was trying to think what other superpowers WW has, when Julian interrupted.

"Mommy, I just see this (pointing at her super-enhanced superheroine cleavage, complete with golden-swirly breastplate)...her....her BOOBS!"

Um, yeah. It's tough to be a female superhero, it really is.
