My Daughter, the Superhero

Well, Skylar has decided that a worthwhile career goal is to BE Wonder Woman. She wants to be Wonder Woman and fight crime at night and during the day, she will be a Police Woman and fight crime that way, too.

But is gets better... She wants to MARRY the Dark Knight himself, Bat Man. That is not too lofty a goal, is it?

Still better... Rhylan has been elected as "sidekick" and her crime-fighting persona is none other than "Hawk Girl" (which is actually Hawk Woman of the Justice League). She has chosen "Hawk Girl" for the obvious reasons - her fashionable costume that is complete with wings! ("MOM! She is sooooo cool!")

So, we are at Walgreen's earlier today and of course the girls are engaging the check out girl about their futures as Super Heroes. Skylar enthusiastically describes her aspirations to the chuckling cashier, then Rhylan pipes up and begins to speak of "Hawk Girl". The cashier looks at her strangely and then questioningly at me and I just say, "She said "Hawk Girl" not "HOT Girl" ". With relief, the cashier said, "Oh, thank God! I thought she wanted to be HOT and that is a little weird!"

We have fun talking to strangers - but really, who's strange in most scenarios? We must ask ourselves, musn't we?
