Teenage Mutant Ninja Sea Turtle Printthe story If the movies taught me anything, its that superheroes wear spandex. Weve been led to believe that superheroes are special. They come from another planet. They are blessed with superhuman abilities. They are super smart, or rich, or got involved in some sort of dangerous science experiment that turned out ok. They typically wear cool outfits while traveling in cool vehicles and wielding cool accessories. Also, their muscles have muscles.

But when a bird’s egg cracks while in the confines of its nest

If I make someone happy on mine

One summer a terrible storm wiped out all the trees in our wooded backyard

credit card debt and computer crashes

Only moments before the first crack

We do this by sharing our gifts and kindness

They walk toward each other

Because I thought it would be fun

It was just the little treat we needed to keep going

and would eventually create The Muppet Show and Sesame Street

But maybe it was simply a good challenge that helped pass the time because nobody had invented cable yet

You have to imagine something before it can be come a physical reality
