Do You Need a Hero?

Every once in awhile, we all need a superhero. But Batman is so hard to get a hold of, Superman's secretary won't return my calls, and Spiderman grosses me out with his snacking habits (insects should NOT be a part of trail mix). For those of you that find themselves in the same bind as I do, I'd like to introduce a new superhero with some very special abilities:

Imagine the destruction he could wreak!!
Cows=Mom....hmmm.....
How long was he breast-fed?
Sounds like he could get a good job down at the wrecking yard. :)

Ah HA hahahahaha!

Priceless.

Melissa said...

That is too funny!! You are one talented gal with your video skillz!! :)
And what is it with these kids that want to be the bad guys? My son had a friend over the other night and they were playing a Transformers board game - their own rules, of course. The first thing they did? Blow up all of the good guys and use the scrap metal to rebuild warriors to take over the earth... sigh...

That is just too funny!

My son says that his superpower is making people sleepy. He uses it on me. It would actually be useful against a foe...make them tired and over-power them.

Give a guy a cape, and he'll eat anything.

What is it with boys wanting to be bad guys? Andrew always wants to be bad - maybe it's the destruction thing - then they can break anything they want - they were being bad guys....

Annie Oldham said...

Wow, Wynne. Another talent to add to the list. Your video-editing skills amaze me. I miss our fun-filled days at Waterford :)

Super Jake is super scary! Very cute video!

Super Happy Girl said...

You got MAD SKILLZ!
So you have a Super cat and Super Jake, boy you must be some kind of Super Mom.

He ate a people!

elizabeth--He doesn't need the superpowers to wreak destruction, believe me. And he never was breast-fed. I tried, but the little snot REFUSED to latch on. Acted like it was the most disgusting thing I kept shoving in his face instead of his breakfast (he got so MAD)...whatever. I'm sure he'll feel differently about that portion of a woman's anatomy in a few more years.

jennifer b--HI! Good to see you come up for a gasp of air before Primary sucks you under again.

melissa--I have no idea. I'm thinking some of them come hard-wired that way. And on some levels, I can't blame them. The bad guys really do have all the fun: instigating war, superfluous explosions, robbing banks...

tirzah--Speaking of bloggers I haven't visited in FOREVER--how are you doing? Your kiddo must think that's the best superpower because that is the superpower that most mommies wield: the ol' cuddle and rock you 'til you snooze. And what a POWER it is! Except when it backfires...*sigh.*

carrot--hmm. You've just given me a great idea. Next time it's time to sample something new at the dinner table, I think I'll let him wear his cape...hmm...yeah, not bad...

rebecca--Hi! Welcome to the stupid blog. And of COURSE it's the destruction thing. It's just so much fun to knock stuff over. (Ask me what I fantasize about when I'm driving around town.)

annie--hi. Talent, schmalent. It's called "having a capable program and barely having a grasp on how to use it." Someday, maybe, I'll get my hands on an animation program...or Flash...*sigh*

janeen--Hi! and what did you do with your twin? You didn't eat her, did you?

NCS--So not a super mom, I swear. That is why I made the cape, so someone can be super in this house. But (blushing) thanks for thinking so, anyway.

I loved it. The part about cows... too funny! My kids have capes also and jump around like crazy, hyped up miniatures. It is pretty entertaining... Here's to super heroes!

Super Happy Girl said...

And you are modest on top of everything :)

Super Happy Girl said...

You have to see athis.
I thought it was cool.

wynne said...

Ah, thank you NCS. That really made my day. (snicker)

Hi danielle!

Suburban Chatterbox said...

The little pause to think and then "nope!" was my favorite part. That was so awesome he had to actually mull over the similarities of moms and cows..

that's a really sturdy bed, too.

Wynne, I have not been eaten alive. Although all the bite marks (from Alessia) would suggest if my kid could eat me alive she would.

I have been such a slacker when it comes to posting comments and sending emails. I am thinking of you. And I have been trying to come up with some clever comebacks for your contest that I want to win.

I am also waiting patiently (okay not really) for you to email me your address so I can mail you something. I have something ready to send you but it has since been eaten so I will come up with something new.

And how do you get Jake to wear a cape. Curtis refuses. In fact the only time I have seen him in a cape is at your house. you have some superpowers there.

I'm glad I finally found a computer that has video capabilities. SOOO FUUUNNY. Both of you. Gadfragrunkin' hi-larious.

I'm not surprised he was a Super Bad Guy -- his mommy has a naughty streak, too. :)

Marie said...

The ancient legends all call her Mama Mad Cow. Bwahahahaha! (that was diabolical supervillain laughter)
