A Mother's Tell-All

SPOILER ALERT!

The following blog contains "Tell-All" secrets about the everyday life of a superhero.
As the mother of a superhero, I'm here to tell you, it is not an easy life. I frequently find myself saying things like: "Don't fly over Bryce!!" & "Please don't attack the Home Teachers."

It is true that superheroes are brave and courageous. He repeatedly assures us that he is afraid of nothing! (Except the dark. And the scary parts of 'Wallace and Gromit, the Curse of the Were-Rabbit')

Like the rest of us, superheroes have an insecure side too. Sometimes he will ask me: "Am I as handsome as Superman?" & "Do you think Ruth will like my sunglasses?"


Of course, immaculate housekeeping was never the superhero's strength and I routinely find myself saying:  "Will you please come pick up your cape!"


But all-in-all, I'd have to say I enjoy being the mother of a superhero. Sure it has it's downsides, ("No, Bryce is not the green goblin and you cannot tie him up") but the overall desire to save the world is somewhat endearing.

We all outgrow that way too fast.
