When my son was three he was very much into comic heroes as his dad had drilled into his head from the day he was born. Batman, Superman, Spiderman etc.
One time I was visiting a friend and her dog began to bark. We sort of looked around and my friend stated it was just the "mailman". Upon hearing this my sons face lit up like a candle, he got a goofy surprised grin and his arms went into the air as to take flight and said "MAILMAN!"
We had to explain that the mailman did not have a cape and did not fly from house to house. He was disappointed to say the least.
To this day when ever we drive by a mail truck I have to yell "MAILMAN!"
My son will be 19 in a couple weeks
