It was a dark and stormy night....Nah! It was a freakin damn cold and rainy Saturday when our heroes arrived. First #1 then a short time later #2. Promises of goodies and movies at the home of their one and only confidant, a time when they could rest and be themselves, with the one person who knew their true identities. G-MOM!
Keeping their identies under cover they head to the grocery store. They needed supplies, Lunchables to keep them fit and ready for anything, Strawberry milk to keep their teeth pearly white for the cameras, Fruit roll-ups for quick energy on a moments notice. Yes, these were the foods of our Super Heroes. All went well on the shopping trip until well.....Our heroes decided to sit in the cart while G-mom loaded what few items she had bought for herself and her trusty assistant G-Pop. Then came a moment when #2 came close to being "severly" injured
by a simple mistake by G-mom! While loading a very large bunch of bananas G-mom placed them in the lap of #2.. not realizing the weight that would bear down on his precious organs...the horrors.
"Jeezs G-mom your smashing my balls" shouted #2 while #1 looked on in horror! Quickly I grab the bananas and remove them from his lap, #1 looks at me and states "Don't give 'em to me your not smashing my balls"! While others looked on with gaping mouths our heroes continued to discuss the near tragedy and how close #2 came to being maimed for life by a large bunch of bananas. Mean while G-mom, trying to maintain what little dignity she had holds her head proud and heads to the check out! (silently chuckling to herself, "where in the hell did THAT come from"!)
Home, safety, no looky-loos there, the training begins: Making sure their equipment is in working order
Making sure at a moments notice they are ready for anything:
With evening swiftly approaching our heroes decide that nourshment is in order. "We need a snack" they declare as G-mom walks by with a load of laundry to fold.
"We need...POPCORN"! Our heroes are expecting something out of the microwave. OMG, G-mom must do something. Quickly she remembers the "Jiffy Pop" in the cabinet. Our heroes are dazzled and baffled. "You make it on the stove"? Looking at me like I have completely lost my mind. "Yes" I reply its amazing, just watch...
Still being unsure of this new device for making popcorn our heroes decide to trust G-mom one more time, despite the banana incident from earlier, the results were a resounding YES,YES!!!
Our heroes are exhausted from the days events and the close call from earlier, they decide to watch a training video, mostly to "get some new moves against the bad guys" as I was told. UNDER DOG!!!
As bedtime quickly approaches (thank God!) our heroes make sure that their sleeping quarters are safe and secure against any "bad Guys" that may lurk in the dark recesses of the sanctuary closet.
With the world safe again our Super Heroes can "sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite".
Authors note:
G-son #1 and his BFF spent the night last Saturday. I was Power Rangered and "bad guyed" to death! Sunday around noon they went home and G-mom promptly made herself a vodka and grapefruit, sat in her chair and watched the Sci-Fi channel until I fell asleep from sheer exhaustion. The banana story is quite true. You can never trust what will come out of the mouths of 4 year olds at any given time or place. I totally love having the boys here and enjoy every new move, new weapon and conversation we have. The best part is listening to THEIR conversations while they play in their own world. My little Super Heroes! Some day they're gonna hate me for this.....
