It would fit perfectly as an action, sitcom.<BR/><BR/>Adventure Mom <BR/>Super Power - teacher, author, mother, able to use superior intellect to expose the chauvinist and sexist (and makes some tasty cookies)<BR/><BR/>Danger Dad<BR/>Super Power - builder, musician, father, able to create by using his superior artistic skills (continually puts himself in dangerous situations without hurting himself - hardly)<BR/><BR/>Super Baby (aka Maybelline, sugar bean, weanie beanie...)<BR/>Super Power - stealing peoples hearts with just a glance<BR/><BR/>Stinky Deez and Dinosaur Head Benya<BR/>Super Power - hmmm... protectors of the super home... (barking, drooling, being very veecious)<BR/><BR/>Scene 1<BR/>Exterior house on Rutledge. Sunny day, late afternoon<BR/>Entering from right on street - Adventure Mom (riding bike, with backpack, Super Baby in the her Bjorn, cell phone in one hand and towing a small wagon with all the awards she had won that day)<BR/><BR/>She rides to the front of the house. Ever watchful, the Stinky Deez and the Dinosaur Head Benya are asleep on the front porch.<BR/><BR/>As she enters the gate, there is a crash and small explosion from the rear of the house. <BR/>Danger Dad comes around the side of the house (wearing coveralls and a tshirt that is slightly smoldering in spots)<BR/><BR/>Dialog<BR/>Adventure Mom -"Biffle... (sigh) ... are you OK"<BR/>Danger Dad -"Yea sweety (as he pats out a smoldering spot on arm of his tshirt), I'm fine. <BR/><BR/>The dogs awake, start barking and jumping (except for Deez who is just trying to get to her feet).<BR/>Super Baby smiles, looks directly in the camera and says "Just another typical day..."<BR/><BR/>To be continued...?<BR/><BR/>The DadThe Dadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04717689243557485868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14733404.post-15824842584130008162009-02-23T20:17:00.000-05:002009-02-23T20:17:00.000-05:00I love the imagery of you walking in the airport w...I love the imagery of you walking in the airport with Maybelle strapped to your chest and a corndog in one hand. I used to have a Corn Dog 7 in my home town mall - it was delish!

Go adventure Mom! I love that image of you talking to Maybelle with a corndog in your hand.

Take messages for her, cover her ears when you tell people that she's cranky, and you should probably invest in a miniature laptop that you can strap to her while she is strapped to you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14733404.post-46957029732139937612009-02-23T15:17:00.000-05:002009-02-23T15:17:00.000-05:00Alison,I think you should, y'know with all of your...Alison,<BR/><BR/>I think you should, y'know with all of your spare time, work on a graphic novel/'zine telling the story of "Adventure Mom." <BR/><BR/>Also, corn dogs are fantastic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14733404.post-84909567681826250342009-02-23T14:50:00.000-05:002009-02-23T14:50:00.000-05:00Yay!

I don't know why but I love goofing off at airports and really enjoy flying. But I wish the in flight snacks were better...like when I was little I remember getting a pancake breakfast. (I did however pour syrup all over myself and the seat...maybe that's why they only serve p-nuts now...hmmm)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
