All moms have superpowers, different ones for different days. Sometimes at the end of a particularly superhero day, I'll reflect quietly on the different stunts and rescues I pulled off. Occasionally, my superpower-driven son, who most days is a Jedi, others a magical pirate, still others a flying Superman, will notice and point out my superpowers. On our road trip to Cali, he dropped a toy that I had to stretch across the back seat over to the door to retrieve. He said, "Nice job, Alaska Girl! You're Alaska Girl, mama!" This was the second day in a row he called me "Alaska Girl". (Can't remember what enourmous feat I had accomplished the day before). I laughed and said, "You're welcome, Hawaii Boy!" And then I figured out he meant "Elasti-Girl" from The Incredibles. She's the mom of a superhero family and she can stretch and bend like nobody's business.
Aahhhh.....it's nice to be appreciated.
That is the funniest story I have read in awhile. He is SO cute and you are a GREAT storyteller!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing kid you have.
ReplyDeleteI loved that! It was cute to listen to Gage and Golden as they played yesterday. They were pretending to be baby lions. Gage has such a great imagination and he kept cracking me up with his wit!
ReplyDeleteMoms really are super-human sometimes, huh! Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteYou are a super-mom. Braden has called me Elasti-girl too, I figured it was for the resemblance between our hips right now.
ReplyDeleteDon't you love what your kids say. They see you in the best of ways.
