A small dream achieved

I'm 20M. A couple of months ago, I went to a friend's house for her birthday. All of my friends were there too. She has a little brother (8 yrs old), and I got along well with that kid. He was very clingy, but kids love me so I didn't think much of it.

Anyway a month or so later, I met her brother again when the friend group went for movies together. When she pulled up with her brother, the kid looks at me and without skipping a beat, says, "Hey Spider-Man!"

I didn't think much of it, but he said something similar the next time we met too.

I asked my friend why he kept calling me Spider-Man. She said that he's a huge fan of Spider-Man, and when he first met me, he thought that I was so cool, that he thought of me as Spider-Man.

Spider-Man has been my biggest role model growing up, and a kid thinks I'm as cool as him makes me smile like an idiot.
