Marvel Aspirations

avengers ultron poster 1This morning while getting ready for school August (age 11) came up to me as said when he grows up he wants to be an extra in a Marvel movie. “Oh?” I said. I admired his realistic take on having a dream, but would have hoped for him to shoot for something a little bit grander.

“Yeah!” He was excited about this. “I could be in the background, or getting saved on the street in a crowd by Captain America.”

Enter Xavier (age 4). “I want to be Hulk Smash!” (He thinks Hulk Smash is the character’s full name – first name Hulk, last name Smash.)

“Oh, cool,” August replied. “Then you could save me.”

Xavier looked at him and said “Never mind. I don’t want to be anything when I grow up.”
