Lint-man

Liam was very excited by the badge he made at school today. It consisted of a piece of brown paper on which he'd written the letter "L". One of his friends, Patrick, proudly told me that his badge had the letter "F". Obviously, this was more than just a first-letter-of-your-name badge.

On the way home, he explained excitedly that it was his superhero badge, and he wanted to make one for Finn as well. And it had to be a black letter on brown paper. The letter "L" stands for "Lint". Yes, lint. As in Lint-man! When I asked him if he knew what lint was, he said no. He was not at all phased when I told him it means tiny pieces of fuzz that stick to your clothing, and he informed me that he just made it up. Lint has a cable-charger super power (later changed to a cable-cord). It helps him catch the bad guys. Finn's superhero name is, per Lint, "Int". So Liam made him a badge with the letter "I". They ran around for a while with their badges, protecting people from bad guys.

So from now on, call him Lint.
