Being a superhero isn’t easy, especially for a working mother. But moments like this make it worthwhile. I grasp the mask, revealing the villain’s face. My eyes bulge.

“Sorry, Mom.”
“That’s all you have to say?”
“You’re never home. It was the only way to see you.”

Wonderful twist on the classic surprise ending.
Thank you, Joanna!
Excellent – very witty.
Thanks!
Very funny, with enough real world bile to make it a little tooo close to-home.
Well done, excellent writing.
