Dear Dave

  SuperDad Returns!

Dear Dave,

If your kids were superheroes, which superheroes would they be?

Fraser has taken to pretending to be Awkward Boy. He argues with everything he hears and then does the opposite of what he's told. Essentially, I haven't noticed the difference apart from that he shouts, "I am Awkward Boy!" at some point while I'm telling him off.

If Lewis and Marie get in on the act, they'll be Thud Child and Pink Girl respectively. Lewis simply can't move without making the house shake and Marie grabs hold of anything fuchsia and clings to it with an unbreakable grip.

I'm not quite sure what kind of crime the three of them could fight but we're sorted if ever there's an invasion of brittle, pink aliens. Fraser will get in their way and slow them down, Lewis will walk over to take a look and shatter them in the process and then Marie will gather up the pieces (and, knowing her, insist on gluing them to a large bit of paper).

As for me? Here are some more of the not-so-super powers of SuperDad:

Yours in a woman's world,

Ed.
