My Happy Place

I will not be bothered.

I will not be teased.

I will not be ashamed.

I will not live in my world of to-do lists and dirty diapers.

And I will trample any teen girl that gets in my way November 20th:

Happiness is a Mess

What is this little boy so happy about?





1. Mommy let him make a mess. Unfettered.
2. Mommy did not cringe when he put paint in his ear, up his nose and in his mouth.
3. Mommy did not lecture him about the poor nutritional value of finger paint.
4. Mommy took him to Target with remnants of paint in his ear, up his nose and caked in his fingernails.
5. He got to do it again the next day with Lola. She painted her entire body green; he chose blue.




*This is a face of a boy whose Mommy is learning to lighten up. Slowly.

Then, in a mad dash for adventure, he ran smack into this freshly-painted wall:



In a mad dash to Target, Mommy found this:



There was much sadness until SuperBoy realized that, in this fancy costume, his muscles grew to amazing sizes:




He could fly through the neighborhood, surveying the land for dastardly deeds:



He could climb tall cow fences:



And, he could tame a wild beast with a mighty command:



Yes, indeed, Superboy had a miraculous transformation that Halloween night. I will not bring up when Princess Emma made him eat all of his dinner.

It would ruin his image.
