I had an epiphany the other day.
That’s scary.
Why is that scary?
I don’t know, I mean how often do you hear that line followed by something cute and cuddly?
Well don’t worry.
All right, then what was this epiphany that you speak of?
I think we should each do more to help random people.
Charity giving? That was your epiphany?
No, I mean yes, but no. I meant something more… physical.
Uhm.
You know, getting out there and making a difference.
So you want to join the Guardian Angels now?
No!
but you said…
Maybe not together, but each of us, and no funny red hats.
Oh god…
What?
You had a Come to Batman moment.
I had a what?
You know how some people have a come to Jesus moment where they feel that they’ve seen some big shining reason to follow Christianity?
So you think I just had a big revelation that I need to fight crime in the streets.
Uhm, isn’t that kinda what you were just saying?
Well, I mean, I guess, kinda. But not Batman. That might be a bit rough.
Might be. See. You totally had a Come to Batman moment.
Maybe I did, then.
That won’t end well.
And why not?
Well, besides vigilantes being illegal, you not being a great fighter and not looking good in a cape? No reason.
I’d look fine in a cape.
That’s your defense? I list reasons and you pick… the cape.
I’m just saying…
That you’re crazy. Sure. Listen, you want to help people, join the Police reservists or something. A neighborhood watch.
Think we could get a signal light to announce when we’re needed?
Batman!
Kidding!
Really?
You have to admit, a signal light would be cool.
Mmm. I’ll be sure to tape it when you show up on the news.
Yeah!
Arrested for being a lunatic.
Bah!

Totally not what went through my mind when I read “Come to Batman”.
