Dreams of a Child

Supernatural strength and x-ray vision were tempting, but my dreams were always to fly. That was the coolest superpower I could think of for the majority of my childhood. Sure, there were those few years in middle school where I wanted to be invisible, but overall, the dream was always to fly. Those dreams have been tossed aside as I have matured. Flying can take you to many places but what are you going to do when you get there? I have bigger dreams now. The ability to speak any language at a moment's notice with no accent. Now that is something that would really be helpful.

Until I am bitten by a radioactive spider or fall into a vat of radioactive sludge, I have had to find other avenues to learn Spanish. Sometimes, it's me driving Becki crazy as I watch Bob Esponja (SpongeBob Squarepants) after a long day of work. Other times, it's talking to the security guard near our dumpster. And every week it's going to a Spanish class. It's not glamorous but I'm just trying to live the dream.
