Abandoned by day camper last summer.

It was the last day of camp, and she was cleaning up the lost and found. Old clothing found its way into the plastic garbage bag, followed by combs and hairclips that may have been the carrier of that summer’s lice epidemic. All that was left was a Spider-Man lunchbox.

She picked it up and thought of Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst’s upside-down kiss – and how, even though it was incredibly awkward looking, it was absolutely romantic.

And then she thought of her son – and how he was into comic books and superheroes, and Spider-Man would be perfect for him.

She brought it home and her son reacted like a typical five year old.

Spider-Man is stupid, he said.

Don’t call anyone stupid, she said.

But he is stupid, he said. Iron Man is so much cooler. Why didn’t you get me an Iron Man one?

Then he ran off to play.

She was so upset. She thought her son would be thrilled, but no, she picked the wrong superhero. Although, Spider-Man kinda picked her. He was lying abandoned. But, if Iron Man is cooler and Spider-Man is stupid, she kind of understood why he got left behind. Maybe that lunchbox-less kid is getting an Iron Man one for the school year.

She put the lunchbox in the attic, just in case her son would go through a Spider-Man phase in a few months.

It never happened.

So, as part of her Spring Cleaning, she took out Spider-Man, didn’t even bother dusting him off, and decided to give him away.

Hopefully someone would have a kid who thought Spider-Man was cool.

And, if not, it would go back in the attic as a reminder that someone else’s trash isn’t always someone else’s treasure – especially in the case of comic book superheroes, young boys, and frugal moms.
