There is a certain little boy in our home who is rather taken with super heroes. After careful consideration, he has determined that Spiderman is the best. He can climb buildings, spin webs to catch stuff and is a good guy. This favored status resulted in our little guy being Spiderman for Halloween, two years in a row.
The thing that he doesn't realize is that we have our own superhero in our home. He lives under a great disguise, a smart, unassuming computer programmer that loves his family and takes great care of them. But I'm going to let you in on some of his secrets.
He doesn't fly, but he can make children fly! In fact, each night he transforms our youngest into Super Baby! Super Baby flies all over the house bestowing magical kisses on people and filling us all with joy. Now that is a super power.
Our own hidden super hero can also morph. He regularly changes from a ride giving horse, to a dinosaur daddy, to a tickle monster that causes tortured laughing to erupt until just the moment when his victims are about to give in and give out.
Our super hero can make things reappear out of thin air. His specialty is smiles. He can turn a frown to a grin in seconds flat with his secret laser beam trick frown and wailing moan of terror (which surprisingly produces laughs more often than not).
Our super hero regularly rescues fair maidens from distress, well at least one maiden daily. He rescues her from screaming kids, hurtling objects (often found to be toddler super heroes thrown into a dangerous vortex or ramming dinosaurs), broken backs bending over baths, and eyes that sometimes leak uncontrollably for no reason at all.
When our super hero is about, our home is a happy and safe refuge from evil and unhappiness. What luck that we have someone with a secret identity. I hope someday our little super heroes in training will discover their own super identity which no doubt was passed on to them. I see the signs already--trying to leap over great buildings in one jump, trying to make a bed in 2 seconds flat and giving out love in nanoseconds with kisses and hugs powered by super love. I'd have to say we are super lucky!

Wow, what super-nice things to say about your hubby! If I have any superpowers at all, it is because I am super-lucky to have the loving family that I do.
