[Superman]

Tell him you've never met anyone in your life as strong as him. Ask him to tell stories. What's the stupidest thing he ever saw your dad do? What's the closest he ever came to death, before today? Who is the best bricklayer he ever saw? How many bricks is the most that two layers can place in a day? (I happen to know that two good Plasterers can use up a pile of sand (ingredient in plaster) in one day that measures in double-digit tons, and then play basketball that afternoon). You might get some good stories, and he'd be happy telling them.

Ask him if he's scared. Ask him if he knows you love him. Don't tell him stuff. Ask.
