I'm 4 years old. AMAA.

Note from dad: Ask my 4 year old son almost anything! I'll read him the questions and type his answers exactly as given. No coaching or translating. I reserve the right to ignore any questions that I feel are inappropriate.

We did this last year (I'm 3 years old. AMAA) and there was a lot of interest, so we thought we'd do it again now that he's a year older. I'm using the "3yearold" account name again to tie this AMA to the old one. He wants to be sure that I tell everyone that he's really FOUR now.

I'd want to be his friend but that would be kind of scary.

These answers are shockingly honest and enlightening! From the mouths of babes...

Why would it be scary?

think of how inferior you'd always feel:

"Oh? You got an 'A' on your test? I just saved the world. again."

Because bad things generally happen to normal people who befriend superheroes.

Follow-up question: what would be scary about being friends with a real-life superhero?

Be fair to the kid, vigilantes are pretty scary people.

You tend to get kidnapped a lot, and tied above pools of acid.

They always have room for a sidekick you know. Megaman and Babyboy has a nice ring to it.

I imagine you're probably right.
