A few months ago, they were handing out Fantastic 4 toys with McDonald’s happy meals (which I am normally loathe to buy, but I gave in in a moment of weakness). One of the characters is “The Human Torch” who lights himself on fire or something as his superpower. Ian decided instead that he was “The Human Porch,” which I think is a much better superhero. His power is to go around to houses that have no front porches or or little skinny things like ours has and transform them into great expanses of porch, complete with hammocks and rocking chairs. People then come out and converse and enjoy them with their iced teas and their lemonades. If that won’t save the world, I’m not sure what will.
