If You Can't Afford PS238 or Sky High...

violetcheetah pointed gnomi and me to the following article from yesterday's Boston Globe. I have to say, I find it the most applicable article of child-rearing advice that anyone has sent us, given the circles we move in.

What to Do If Your Child Has Superpowers

That was a great article. My Charlie is Strong Shadow, you know. His arms, you see, are like steel, and he can use shadows to move through objects. It was nice to have an article that helps address some of the problems one faces raising a super child.

(Also some of the people in the comments complaining about the article? Obviously bitter Super Villian wannabes)

Great article, but he did not address super pets, or what to do if your child only has sidekick worthy powers.

if there were any set of parents who would be adequately equipped to deal with such a problem, it would be you and Nomi :)
Ben has superpowers, and so far, he is using them for good. In fact, Richie refers to him as "Super Ben" and helps him fly around our apartment. We'll see how long it lasts.....

What to expect when you're expecting super-powered children?

Would the Best-Odds Diet for such pregnancies involve skim milk sprinkled with iodine 131?
