Good Parenting 101



(my living room, 6:15 a.m.)

Dan-El: Dora!

Lois: In a bit sweetie. Mommy just wants to watch the news and catch the weather.

Dan-El: Dora!

Lois: It's a little early for Dora.

Dan-El: Dora!

Lois: In a few minutes, okay?

Dan-El: Read books?

::Lois thinks for a minute::

Lois: Dora?

Dan-El: Dora!

::Dan-El stands a 1/2 inch from the TV screen to absorb the restorative cathode rays, Lois falls asleep on couch::

I'm surprised, boys like Dora? I would have fancied Dan-El as more of a Diego kid.

Backpack! Backpack!

Oh, he's completely obsessed with Diego. We even went to see "Go Diego Go Live!" a few weeks ago. It was thrilling, to say the least.

But in the past week he's been getting into Dora for some reason, and now alternates between the two.

Lois:

Cathode rays are an excellent source of Vitamin D*, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

*That's Vitamin D as in "Dora." But sitting too close to the television will also cause one to have an unhealthy attachment to funnybooks.

Why shouldn't a little boy like a little girl he sees on TV? I liked girls when I was a little boy. Never stopped. Well... that is... as I got older, the girls that I liked got older, too... What I mean is... Never mind.

Hey, since my profile caption says "Child of the Cathode Ray Tube," does that mean we're related, or something?

Cut me some slack, I'm freakin' tired.

I always preferred boys while growing up.

Hasn't changed, either.

*goes off to find a boy to play with...I mean...err...*

p.s.
Lois, you've really gotta be one of the most wonderful moms ever.

Lois: Cake's right. Am I too old for you to consider adopting me?

 
At 5:36 PM, Blogger Lois Lane said...

LAMONT!
That isn't true.

::turns around, looks at 30 long boxes of comics::

Um...never mind.

CAKE!
Oh yeah, I'm a great mom. The secret? Gin.

DAVID!
I don't see why not. I'll adopt you, as soon as Jayne's adoption of me is finalized.

 
At 5:47 PM, Blogger The Silver Fox said...

Lois: Hm. You as my mom, Jayne as my grandma? I could definitely like this. Let me know when everything's ready to be signed.

But in the meantime? Hide me! Cake's been chasing me from comments section to comments section...

 
At 8:03 AM, Blogger Cake said...

Ah HAH! Thought you could hide here, eh? *pelts David'z with cookies, makes a run for it*

p.s.
Lois: Wait! You're adopting people!? Pick me, pick me!

 
At 8:35 AM, Blogger The Silver Fox said...

Lois, please don't adopt her. Can you imagine Cake and myself living under your roof? [starts toward Cake to chase her away, looks down at cookies on floor, stops to eat cookies instead]
