A grandfather recently went above and beyond to surprise his 6-year-old grandson in Sharon on his birthday.
The Sharon Police Department assisted “Batman” as part of a birthday parade for his grandson, Edward.
Paul Spinder says his grandson is living with autism and the pandemic has been tough on him.
“Batman is his favorite person, so I thought I would dress up like Batman and let him enjoy the party,”
Fortunately, the former firefighter had no problem getting the emergency responders to play along.
“This was a grandfather who dressed up to surprise his grandson who loves Batman,” Sharon police wrote. “SPD helped with the drive-by birthday parade. The post is just having fun with this wonderful grandfather- he dressed up on a very cold winter day to bring joy to his grandchild Edward who is 6.”
Pictures shared by police showed the grandfather dressed as Batman drive by in a motorized three-wheeler.
“Being able to just show love to family members is something we can all smile about and feel good about these days,” Deputy Chief Don Brewer said.
The Dark Knight asked why he was pulled over. The officer said he was looking for Robin. Batman asked, “Is this a JOKE”. The officer replied “no I haven’t seen the Joker”. Batman was given a warning and thanked the officer for finding his Goldfish. He left it in the Bat -tub. pic.twitter.com/H1gjP5w0xk
