Just like Superman has his weakness i.e. the Kryptonite, a SuperMum also has her weakness too! As a woman gets into motherhood, she has to learn the art of parenting, learn how to either earn more money or be more prudent in spending, learn how to set good example for her kids and amongst others also learn how to brave the front of many things she would never have imagined to stand up to when she was single.

No matter how others have branded me the title of a “SUPERWOMAN”, there is always some fear that I cannot concur …. like LIZARDS!!!

I recalled once when I was calling out for my kids and domestic helper.  For a very long time, nobody responded or appeared. After much waiting, then we realized that they were all trapped at the stairs. Why? Because they were afraid to move down due to a small little lizard!  It was amusing seeing them getting hysterical at the stairs when the lizard was not even in their way! Alas did SuperMum go to their rescue? An embarrassing “No”!  Supermum’s weakness is not to some crystals like in Superman’s case but to a “Live” and “Motionless” Lizard.  I guess mums’ weakness gives daddies the opportunity to be ‘HEROES”. So, it is not surprising that Papa Ed ran to our rescue armed with a plastic bag.  I guess if Papa Ed had been outstationed then, we would all have to play staring game with the lizard until it decides to crawl away.

Perhaps, should I show more courage in front of the tiny lizard, my kids could have learnt to be less fearful. Just a personal cute moment I share with my kids. Have a good laugh!
