Holy Smoky Mountains, Batman
(I’m working the register of a small toy store when a family walks in with a two-year-old boy in a stroller and his older brother (who’s about eight) walking alongside it. They walk past our new “Dark Knight Rises” merchandise.)
Two-Year-old Brother: *holds his arms out* “I WANNA BE BATMAN! I WANNA BE BATMAN!”
Me: *smiling* “We all want to be Batman.”
Eight-Year-Old Brother: “Batman’s real where I come from!”
Me: “Oh, are you from Gotham City?”
Eight-Year-Old Brother: “No, Tennessee!”
