Kids make me laugh

I'm on the phone:

Me: yeah, I'm really excited. Just got a book on training for Ironman.

Nicholas looks up from doing homework, bright-eyed and excited: Mommy, you're going to train to be Ironman? Can I be Ironman, too?

Me: Hold on... No, Nicholas, not Tony Stark, a long long hard triathlon race called Ironman. (I show him the book).

Nicholas, grumbles and goes back to homework: Oh man! That would have been so cool.

Me, too. I may get some art supplies out this weekend and have him and Miss E create super-hero training books. Maybe we'll make a kit, too.

Oh, I want to play!

For Edward's seventh birthday Ann made superhero capes as party favors for the guests. I want superhero capes as party favors for my next birthday, too.

we used to wear superhero capes when we cleaned house and picked up toys. (ok, they were bath towels with safety pins)
but we still wore them and acted like superheros lifting entire buildings!

Last time I had a "girl skiing day", I suggested we ski w/ super-hero capes on... flapping behind us down the slopes!!!! LOL
