Amanda e-mailed me earlier this afternoon to share with me the following:

ha ha ha….just so you know, we have one superman, and one supergal, complete with capes…

This, of course, demands a phone call to follow up on the situation. I discover from the eyewitness at the scene (their mother) that they are standing up in their beds – as this is supposed to be naptime – and they have their blankets around their necks and trailing behind them as capes.

They proudly exclaim, one after another,

I’m superman!

and:

I’m supergal!

…

My children are more intelligent than I am comfortable with, and I do not know how my wife deals with them on such a continuous basis. I fear I may have let them completely overrun the house by now if it were my responsibility.
