Yesterday my little girl was playing in a magical world with an old Halloween cauldron when I said what very few parents must; Don't stir your cauldron with your wand, you'll ruin the phoenix feather inside.
Along with " don't hit your sister with a light saber" I am often uttering parental advice that has little resemblance to what " normal" people ( Lets call them Normals) say to their own kids. But its paying off, let me tell you about my geektastic mothers days. First, an early morning jont with just the husband and I to see the latest in comic book movies; The Avengers. Sporting my cool new hand made necklaces ( The one from my daughter has a Yin Yang on it " like the balance in Avatar, mommy" and the one from my son a beautiful clear locket " it looked like a remembrall Mom" ) I was glad to see the theater full of other nerdy moms and their equally geeky kids. We all laughed and cried and hooted as the armor clad heroes kicked space ass.
Back at home a lazy day of X-men cartoons, a little spell casting on Pottermore and the perusal of my new stack of comics ( everyone should totally read the new 52 Batwoman, the art is stunning and it has a great story line...plus batwoman is a lesbian and she is totally HOT). On request a cake was made for me to decorate by husband and daughter, and I decorated it with classic yellow and the bat symbol. Finishing the blissful day with the latest episode of Legends of Korra, I must say I live the charmed geek life. hope all you moms out there had a great day too!
I can't fathom being married, let alone having children... but on the rare day I don't flinch at the thought of being responsible for another life, I smile at the possibility of a life like yours.
ReplyDeleteAlso, photos of said Batcake would be appreciated.
