The wind howled and screeched as it slipped its way through the open windows. Rain beat so hard against the glass that it could have been mistaken for hail. Thunder shook the house and at that moment, the power went out.
Two small figures huddled together in the dark, whispering intently.
Batman One:
Hey Batman, do you see da bad duys?
Batman Two:
Ya, Dey are over dere! Dey are going to det the smarshmellows! Hurry Batman! Hide da smarshmellows!
Batman One:
Tay! Follow me!
In a flash the two small figures leapt from their hiding place.
Oh no! Batman One yelled in horror,
here are da bad duys!
Battle cries shredded the silence that had enveloped the morning as the two brave Batmen fought to defend their beloved, imaginary marshmallows.
The battle was intense, there were so many bad guys! After taking a blow or two, Batman Two decided to give the bad guys a piece of his mind.
You are mean bad guy! Gggrrraaaarrrr! Pow! You can't have my smarshmellows!
At last, victory was theirs.
Or so they thought. It wasn't long before they realized that they had more serious problems coming their way.
Uh oh. Batman One said quietly as he started backing away,
Here tum da taradactals!
Yea, said Batman Two, as he too began to back away slowly, eyes intent on watching his feet as he did so,
here dey tum to det our smarshmellows!
Ahhhh, and hot lava! Screamed Batman One.
Hurry, RRUUUUUUUUUUNN!
Before you could blink, they were off in a frantic run as they tried to escape the pterodactyls and hot lava that were headed their way.....

*singing*
... and then we will be happy and he will loooooove me. And I will love him, and we will be happy...
The princess walked through the midst of the chaos, completely oblivious to the lava and pterodactyls as she tried out her 984,635th paper airplane.
*sigh*
This is the best one ever! She exclaimed as she sent it sailing, sort of, through the air. Once it
crashed landed, she skipped over to it happily, pure joys radiated from her face.
Suddenly she stopped cold in her tracks, as a horrified expression crept over her once angelic features.
Oh no! My marbles! Where are my marbles! she exclaimed.
Panic over took her as she frantically began searching for her marbles.
I lost my marbles! Oh what shall I do? I lost my marbles! (tell me about it)
Soon, she was overcome with moaning and groaning, and nothing could appease her as she searched relentlessly for her lost marbles....

It started out innocently enough. All I wanted was my sippy cup that sat on counter. Is that so bad?
I declare that it not so.
It wasn't MY fault that my brothers left several full cups of water on the counter! Or a half-eaten bowl of cereal! I mean, come on, its not as if I ASKED them to do that for me.
And my sister? Well, if she's okay to leave her toast sittin' around, then I'm okay to poke holes in it.
Just saying.
I don't know why mom got so upset when she caught me exploring the wonders of how water can alter the appearance and durability of paper. I was merely enjoying the world around me!
I mean, sheesh! Can't a person be appreciated for their gifts?
How dare she interrupt my creativity!
I knew I should have stuck to my original plan of becoming a sumo wrestler, I just knew it!
Oh oh, I know! I bet if I throw myself to the ground while screaming, flop around for a while and push my head into the counter, I bet she'd stop cleaning up and let me get back to my creativity!
Yea! Let's give that a try....
~~~~~
At that moment, lightning and thunder seemed to hit simultaneously as it shook the house so much it set off the piercing fire alarms for a few seconds.
When it was over, there was silence....
For about 3.2 seconds. Because unless they're sleeping, that's about as long as my kids are capable of silence.
Note: I started this post last night, so technically, this was how my day started yesterday.
If that matters at all... which it doesn't so... yea, never mind.
