Super Powers
Tonight we watched The Incredibles for our occasionally-remembered family movie night. They are a family of superheroes brought out of hiding to save the planet. Each one has a particular superpower. Dad is strong, mom is elastic, daughter can disappear, son is super-fast. It’s a great movie, if not a bit much for Sophie. But with our translating and encouragement, she enjoyed it. At the end, she assigned us superhero roles. It started out predictably. Sophie=fast runner. Daddy=STRONG. Rosy began as a baby who can shoot peanut butter crackers, which evolved into super-propeller of Binkies. Mommy, was a no-brainer, apparently. Me=super-shooter of boob milk at the enemies eyes. I am proud to say I have a power no other member of my family can hold a claim to.
Nearly four years of breastfeeding have paid off, in more ways than one! Now, off to save the world in our tie-dyed and gray shirts (John’s uniform). Each in our own particular way.
Have you seen that t-shirt… the one that says “I make milk. What’s your super power?” I have that shirt and LOVE it!
