Becoming Superman...A wish

I remember when I was a child of about 5-6 year, one day I started insisting to my mother that I want to become superman and she will have to do this by all means. As stubborn child I continued my insisting that she will have to make me Superman. Being a loving and caring mother, she always tried her best to fulfill all my possible wishes. But this wish was certainly not possible to be fulfilled. My mother tried to explain me, how I could become Superman.

She told me, that I can only become Superman when I reach to the age of 10 because till that time my bones will be strong enough to stop a train with my power and at the same time I will easily fly. I was satisfied with the answer and agreed to wait for a few more years.

By the age of 10, I was sensible enough to understand what the reality of Superman is, just a comic hero and nothing else, and surly becoming Superman was no more my wish.
Today when I remember all this, I realize that…”How stupid my wish was” and “How wise was my mother answer”????
