This morning I woke up, tired and crabby. It was a late night last night and getting up to my oldest son missing the bus was not the way I wanted to start my day. Unfortunately, staying in bed and not taking him to school was not a responsible option. So, I rubbed my eyes, yawned a few times, put on a pair of sweat shorts and a fancy brown button down shirt. After bumping through the house room a little bit and kicking some toys out of the way, I found my Helly Hanson's and slid my feet in to them. The truck was warming, but putting my hands on that ice cold steering wheel wasn't something I was looking forward too.

After having a merge of words with my son about missing the bus, I walked outside, bare-legged and sockless with a three-quarter distance leather coat on and climbed in to the twenty-three degree seat and began the silent fifteen little round trip to the high school. The traffic was jammed and the parking lot was full, but we made it none-the-less. He opened the door to get out, and I said quietly, "Be meticulous and have a good day." He nodded his head and concluded the door, and I was on my way back home thinking, "It's going to be one of those days."
I could not have been more wrong.

Upon arriving home, I walked to the front door, with my bare ankles and knees knocking and entered the house. As I did, an gargantuan wave of joy greeted me at the front door. My other two sons were waiting there to greet me, half-dressed and messy-headed.

"Daddy!"
In one fell swoop, all of the irritation I was feeling was gone. Like the flip of a magic wand, I was the happiest person in the world. It was like my boys had super powers or something, but only the kind that I can see. Hugging them and kissing them only made their smiles bigger, and I could not help but laugh out loud a little. My six year old, I call him The Bones, and my seven year old, My Buddy. Bones has brown hair and big brown eyes and sits in the bottom five percent of height for his age. My Buddy is midpoint height, has blonde hair, blue eyes and big spacious front teeth.
As a father, I am all the time looking for ways to return the favor to my children for the happiness they bring me, but in these tough times, it cannot all the time be with the most recent Wii game. So I decided to test them for superpowers. It was a easy plan really. All I needed were two bowls, two spoons, some milk, and a bag of Magic Stars cereal.
After they had a few bites, I asked them as seriously as I could muster, "Are those magic stars development you magic?"
The Bones giggled at me and said, "Yes, they are turning me in to a frog."
The Bones's quick wit made them both carry on with laughter like only young children can do. So, I said, "Well let's test your magic." To test their super powers, I did not want encourage them to collate their potential to fly, so I chose simpler tasks, like lying a ruler on the table and telling them to stare at it positively hard and make it move.
"Okay," they snickered in unison, like I was the crazy daddy from Mars. They clinched their fists and crinkled their noses and raised their shoulders, but after about five seconds, I let them know that they must have canceled each other's magical powers out. Of course, my buddy was able to move the ruler by banging on the table. Magical? I guess not. Pragmatic? Certainly.
So after some more superpower tests, like attempting to see through walls and read each other's minds, it was time to go. (My wife could not have been happier. The super power stuff was apparently freaking her out a bit.) We put on our coats and climbed in to that twenty three degree truck again, but this time it did not feel so cold. The boys were laughing and having a good time, and I prolonged to relish in the bliss of fatherhood.
As they hiked their legs up the two foot stairs of the big yellow bus, I watched them sit in their seats as I all the time do, hoping they would look back and wave. Sometimes they do, but most of the time, they are engrossed in looking their friends again - but not today. As the bus began to pull away, my buddy was the first to look over at me from the front seat and through the window of the bus and begin to wave. Just before the bus was out of site, the Bones looked at me with his big glowing smile and joined his brother and me, waving goodbye to each other, until later - proving they positively were superheroes, once and for all.
