Today, we had a discussion about superheroes:
Theo: Mom, Batman gets rid of the bad guys. He bats them away!
Me (laughing): Well, he does get rid of the bad guys, but I'm not sure he bats them, necessarily.
Theo (perplexed): But his name is Bat-man...
Excellent point. I never thought of his name being derived from the verb form of bat, rather than the noun form!
