Superhero

Growing up, I was fascinated with the concept of superheros. They didn’t have blockbuster movies about them when I grew up (I know, I’m a dinosaur), but they did have a lot of superhero cartoons. My favorite superhero? None other than Superman! Superman was awesome! He could run really fast, fly, jump over tall buildings,Continue reading “Superhero”
