The Kind That's Saved

"Why do you wear leg braces?" the kid asked me, his cute brown eyes staring up at me.
"Mathew!" His Mom scolded. "Don't ask questions like that." She glanced at me and smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry, miss."
I shook my head. "Its not a problem." I attempted to squat, so I could meet the boy's eyes. "Mathew, I wear leg braces to help me balance better. They also help me walk faster and have better endurance."
"Woah." His voice was filled with wonder. "So with your braces, you're like a superhero!"
I laughed sincerely. "Something like that."
