I need me some safety pins.
There’s a new show on PBS that the boys have decided is their new favorite… Super Why? is the animated story of four storybook characters who solve their problems by looking in other story books to find answers. There’s Red Riding Hood, Pig (the son of one of the Three Pigs), Princess Pea and Wyatt. (Who is Wyatt, you ask? He’s Jack’s little brother, of course. You know, like Jack and the Beanstalk? That Jack.)
Wyatt’s kind of the leader of the group and often is the one featured in the story. The boys love that the kids meet as kids at first, but then turn into the Super Readers. They turn around in circles, change costumes and become Super Red, Alpha Pig, Princess Presto and Super Why, respectively. Wyatt has a few catch phrases that he uses in every episode, like “To the Book Club!” and “Super Why here, with the power to read!” (All the Super Readers have a unique power, and the viewer’s super power is the power to help.) Their costumes all have capes, because what is a super costume without a cape?
Big Boy A and Big Boy B now run around the house yelling, “To the Book Club!” They grab books and go sit on Big Boy A’s bed and read. Or, if I’m doing something they’d like to help with, they’re apt to say, “With the power to help!”
This morning they wanted to be Super Why. I asked them what would make them Super Why, and they of course needed capes. Great! Nana gave them towels with their names embroidered on them a couple of Christmases ago, and they would work perfectly!
Except for the fact that I don’t have any safety pins. I know, I know… it’s in the mother’s handbook somewhere that you always, always, always need to have safety pins on hand just in case.
I’ll be going to the store to get those safety pins now.
To the Craft Store!
