My sister recently turned … a little older.
I’m the youngest of five and as I’ve been taught to respect my elders I won’t tell you exactly how old she turned but it was a significant birthday which called for a significant party.
We got together a couple of weeks back but this is the first chance I’ve had to blog about it.
It was a dress up party and as much as I don’t really get into such things I felt that it was my opportunity to take on a persona that I haven’t for many years.
When I was a little tacker mum made me a cape so that I could play at being Superman. I would fly around the back yard making the world a better place. I was a big Superman fan.
I suppose that strictly speaking I wasn’t really dressed as Superman the other night but as half way between Clark Kent and Superman.
My connection with the man of steel goes pretty deep. While it wasn’t the reason we named our son James, we were more than aware that ‘Jimmy’ Olsen is Superman’s best friend.
Were you a Superman fan when you were younger? Who was your favourite super hero?
Superman was great because he could fly, see through walls, he was strong and so much more.
What super power do you wish you had?

I knew that there was more to you than mild-mannered radio host.
Ah yes, but life is more difficult these days. It’s hard to find a phone box when you need one. 🙂
Too look as handsom in a superman cape as the person who is already in one!!
