SuperHeroes

Super Heroes


I was reviewing my son his lesson on the National Symbols...

me : our national flower?

boy : sampaguita!

me: good! our national bird?

boy : umm..

me : the Philippine ...

boy : eagle! (yup, not the maya we studied in our childhood)

I knew both of us were watching too many Justice League when he excitedly exclaimed...

boy : Mommy, you know what? our country even has a national super hero!

me : Really?!?
(A super hero? Am I out of date now? who is our super hero? Ang Panday? Captain Barbel?...)

boy : Yeah, a doctor J something...

me : ( I really laughed out loud) Oh! he's not a super hero. just our national hero - Dr Jose Rizal!
