As some of you may know, 3 of my 4 kids have had speech issues and we have been doing speech therapy with them from since they were tiny. Well during one of these sessions with me, I was trying to get them to talk about "If you could have any super power in the world, what would it be?" I started it by saying I would like super speed so I could get all my chores done so I could go play. Oh they loved that one and I grinned huge as they all went nuts exploring their wildest imaginations. Super strength, invisibility (so they could raid the cookies before dinner without getting caught), shape shifting, you name it, they discussed it. It was wonderful.
Then they almost simultaneously were excited to tell me that super speed would not be a good super power for me. Flying would be much better. I was confused and asked them why. "Because Mom," they said as they lifted up my saggy arms, "You already have the wings!". *deep sigh* Well, I kinda did see their point.
The raging debate now was all about what my superhero name would be. They couldn't call me "Bird-Mom". Apparently I didn't have enough feathers to qualify. They came up with my superhero mantra together and introduced it to me by singing, "Na Na Na Na Na Na NA NA ...BAT- MOM!"
*crickets chirping* Wow kids. Thaaanks.
Back to today:
Today Bat-Mom's gotta go do dishes and laundry and too many chores to count ... I am SO feeling gypped at that no super speed thing ...
