SuperDuper Teddy

When Teddy was only four years old, his
mother had made him a Superman cape to
wear on Halloween. Now, even though
Teddy was five years old and it wasn’t
Halloween, he still liked to wear his cape
around their apartment. Unlike pants, which
became too short, or shoes, which became
too tight, the cape still fit him fine.
Teddy liked to run through the hallway
of the apartment with the red cape flying
behind him as he shouted, “S-U-P-E-RM-
A-N.” Then he felt bigger and stronger
and smarter than Nora, even if he wasn’t.
