Superpowers - what would your choice be?
October 5th 2007 21:26
Flying around the backyard yesterday with Master 4yo - we managed to take time out from saving the planet to sit down and replenish our dwindling super hero reserves with 'a power sandwich' and 'booster juice'.
"That was close Comet Man."
"Sure was - Astro Flash"
"How about we sit down for a minute with "Wonder Dog" and re-fuel"?
"OK . . ."
So there we both were - saviours of the universe - perched against a Jacaranda - enjoying what to any mortal might have appeared to be a salad sandwich - but in essence was of course - 'special super strength plant specimens from a secret planet only known to Comet Man and Astro Flash'.
So, having slayed a 'Green Dragon', vanquished a 'Laser Robot' and defeated "Metal Monster" - we discussed the virtues of our next 20 minute battle - and what superpower we'd each have.
"I'm going to be able to fly and shoot rocket balls out of my hands, Uncle Nice Guy."
" . . . and have X-ray vision
" . . . and, and I'm going to have special eyes that can see invisible things.
" . . . . and huge muscles
" . . . and Samson (insert here the cleverly disguised golden labrador - 'Wonder Dog') - will fly with me."
"So what will my powers be, " I asked.
"Oh you can just help - OK?"
And with that, Comet Man, Astro Flash (oh and Wonder Dog) flew off to defeat Earth's next nemisis confident that once again the world would be a safer place for our efforts.

Rugby World Cup 2007
(Oldies - there is only 1 'real' child, the rest, including the parents, are in touch with their inner child)
After 'The Incredibles'...the youngest bombarded us with this question.
...still can't answer this...but I lean towards all of Wonder Woman's powers...she can fly (thanks to Hermes the Messenger God); she has the strength of Gaea and is as strong as SuperMan; she is fiercely intelligent and a master of the art of war while still being an advocate for peace. Plus she has the Golden Lasso of Truth (from the girdle of Gaea) and the Amazon Bracelets (formed from Zeus' shield).
She's be such a great Rugby player.
...and yes I know a bit too much about her...
Have a great weekend G with your SuperLoves!

Sorry - Astro Flash - the ever thoughtful 4yo may have foiled your cloak of invisibiity
. . and have X-ray vision
" . . . and, and I'm going to have special eyes that can see invisible things.
Don't you just hate that!
Thanks for dropping by

All my life I have had dreams that I could fly, but when I wake up I have forgotten the secret that unleashes my magic power. Very frustrating.
Wonderful post, MNG!
