Who will save the day?

Isn't it funny the questions that kids ask and the way their minds work. Here's the conversation that Ian and I had this morning...

Ian "Mom, do superheros go to heaven?"
Me "no, baby, superheros aren't real"
Ian "then who will save the day"
Me "Ian, no one needs to save the day"
Ian "But, what if a meteor hits the earth, then who will save the day"
Me "Ian, a meteor is not going to hit the earth"
Ian "But what if one does"
Me "Then maybe you could turn into a superhero and save the day"
Ian "you know I can't"

Then he walk away with a disgusted look on his face because I obviously didn't answer his questions the way he wanted. 10 minutes later...

"Mom, why are superheroes not real?"
