On my way to nursery school, I would try to leave the house with a red towel trailing from my neck.   My mom would gently remove it despite my pouting and shoo me away to school. Other kids would pretend to be other superheroes, Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, Captain America, The Flash.  I would proudly say, "I'M MIGHTY MOUSE!"  The other kids would groan, roll their eyes, and leave me alone.
