Wow. My son and I caught the scene from Spider Man 2 last night where Peter goes into the burning building to save the little kid and now this story from Brazil. How synchronous!

Now he wants to grow up and become a firefighter and save more lives? Let’s save this for the next time someone claims comics are a bad influence on kids.

I think what startles me more is that the baby’s OWN MOTHER was too scared to go into the house and save HER OWN CHILD.

See, if Spider-man 3 hadn’t been made, would this kid have saved a life? Who hates this sequel now?

That little 5-year-old is so cool. I want a T-shirt or a poster of him.
I hope he gets some firefighter-type education soon, because if he’s already running into burning buildings, it couldn’t hurt to know danger signs relative to fire patterns, building architecture, etc.
But if I had kids I would probably tell them not to run into burning buildings, myself.
That poor baby’s mother, though…imagine all the self-loathing she’ll have now…
