Cannonball Smith

A. and I got gutsy and took both kids to see the circus when it came to town. Superboy was very impressed with the man who shot himself out of a cannon, so after the show we went down on the floor to meet him. What a nice guy! David Smith has been doing this for decades, and a few of his 11 children have gone on to become human cannonballs themselves. It seemed to get some wheels turning in the Boy's head when I explained that this is how Mr. Smith makes his living...

Ratty Girl

I wouldn't have predicted that both of my children would have a predilection for toy rats, but, well, there you have it. Supergirl has been working on a hands-free method for transporting the rat around the house. As luck would have it, the rat's anatomy made this a pretty easy method to refine.
