Kid Superheroes at the Museum

Kids tend to be honest, truthful and creative and say the funniest things when asked a question. In a recent trip to the Children’s Museum in Kitty Hawk, we talked to six children, ages three to eight. We learned about different types of superpowers (yes, flower power is a superpower), and what these kids would do if they were invisible for a day. Between the laughs and giggles here’s what they had to say.
