Opus 2025-317: A Question of Power

My grandson came roaring into the room wearing a mask and a cape while he waved a sword around.  I can’t remember if he was Bible Man or Zorro but he was some kind of super hero.  I was impressed with his imagination and enthusiasm but not so much with his wisdom.  He came in thinking he would win.  I let him think that for awhile but eventually the truth came out.

Grandpa powers trump super-powers.

That is hard for a child to understand.  In a way it is hard for adults to understand.  It still remains true.

We won’t discuss grandma powers.
