Overheard while walking down Franklin Ave. in Prospect Heights yesterday:

LITTLE BOY: I know what I want to be when I grow up.
HIS MOM: What do you want to be when you grow up?
LB: A sidekick!
HM: Why do you want to be a sidekick?
LB: Because everybody needs a partner!
[pause]
LB: I'd wear all black and I'd have a sword, so if anybody took out a weapon, I'd have a weapon, too.
[pause]
LB: I want to be Spiderman. Spiderman!

That's for boys. As for girls, there is the NYC edition of Rock Camp For Girls, which you may want to work at or apply for or otherwise support. It looks fairly great. They need campers, workers, and gear. And, of course, money.
