Daughter: Dad! Dad! I had a dream! And I could see what was going to happen in the future! And it was real!
Me: Whoa.
Daughter: Dad! Am I a sidekick?
Me: Hm. Try this: "Holy divination, Batman!"
Daughter: Holy divination, Batman!
Me: Yep, you're a sidekick. But I don't think you're psychic.
Daughter: Huh?
Me: A psychic is someone who can tell the future. A sidekick is a superhero's helper.
Daughter: Oohhhh... HAHAHA! Sidekick. I meant psychic.
Me: Yah I know.
Son: Dad?
Me: Hm?
Son: What do you call a sidekick who can tell the future?
