Tonight, we attended the Superhero themed elementary school carnival.  After the initial loop of cheeseburgers, popcorn, games, silent auction, and inflatables, I was sent to pick up our eldest son from baseball practice.  Leaving our younger ones with Charlene, I walked toward the car.

Then out of the corner of my eye, I saw an opportunity.  There was a Batman cardboard cutout.  The perfect chance for a selfie, without even embarrassing my kids.  Perfect.

Standing there.  Happy.  Satisfied.  I posed for my perfect shot.  Getting ready to “click” the photo, I heard a group of teenagers shout, “Hey, there’s a guy taking a selfie!” Waving to them, I continued with my selfie.  I would not give into their mockery.  This was a victimless selfie.  No embarrassed family members.  Only one happy man.  I bravely proceeded.  I would not be intimidated.  Batman would be proud.
