superheroes never sleep

10:00 p.m.
she bursts from her room.
her hair has reached afroic proportions-she is wearing her yellow striped bikini.
in her hand, her pink blanket.
-"mom,you need to tie this around my neck".she hands over the blanket
-"no way, it's 3 hours PAST your bedtime and i'm not going to tie a blanket around your neck and then put you to sleep."
-"it's not a blanket it's my cape....
I AM SUPER GIRL- i must have my cape"
-"O.K ....SUPER GIRL, I'm still not going to tie this around your neck, you need to be in bed asleep"
-her eyes narrow,her hands go to her hips,she flips back her jr. afro
"I CANNOT be worried about sleep, I am a SUPERHERO- superhero's do not sleep- i never know when I might be needed"
-she grabs her cape and heads back into her room
-she is asleep 5 minutes later
