The Real Spiderman

Ethan was wondering why, and when, he became such a juicy target for mosquitoes at his home. He was bitten at least twice on his face and once on his wrist. Perhaps under different circumstances he might have been at least a little irritated.

Not today however. Today, he could shoot web from his wrist. “See?” Ethan pointed at a plaster with Spider-Man’s picture on his wrist, “I can shoot web!” When Ethan was asked whether he was annoyed by any itching sensation from the bites, the little boy’s smile didn’t even falter a single bit as he replied, “I don’t mind the mosquito bites. I got to shoot web from my hand…and it wasn’t really that itchy for me anyway.”
