Wonder Woman’s Got Nothin’ On Me!
It had been a particularly busy weekend, and as I sat exhausted in my recliner, I reflected on all that I had accomplished. I decided that Wonder Woman should set aside crime-fighting for a day, and try her hand at being me. (I guarantee her hair won’t look that good when its over!) Comparing myself to her, I realized just how much I accomplished, all without the help of super-powers or weapons!
I communicate with animals. Spying our mutt sitting next to her empty food bowl with a sad look in her eyes, I was able to discern that she was hungry! Since 3three family members passed right by her and the empty dish before I did and failed to fill it with food, I can only assume that no one else is able to communicate with her.
I have the ability to fly. My daughter the aspiring gymnast loves showing off her new skills. When her back handspring went awry in the living room, I was able to fly past her and rescue my favorite lamp before it hit the ground—without the aid of an invisible airplane.
I’m skilled in hand to hand combat. Usually I employ this tactic right before dinnertime, when my territory is being invaded by kids trying to sneak snacks while I’m trying to cook. This week I was able to swat a bag of chips out of my daughter’s hand and snatch a can of soda from my son’s, while simultaneously replacing these items with a stack of plates to be dried and a bag of trash to be taken out. Poor kids never knew what hit ‘em.
Wonder Woman, I salute you. You’ve helped me realize my own inner superhero powers. But I do have one question--just for future reference, where might one purchase a Lasso of Truth?
