I always wondered about that issue- when and how would Lois and Clark tell their child that Clark is Superman? I mean, it worked out in Little Girl Lost but it many not work out with every child. Plus there's the issue of having the child keep the secret. I mean, its not hard for a 4 year old to promise and then tell ("Don't tell anyone, but my daddy is Superman!").
Anyway, great story. I can relate- growing up with a cousin who's 5 years older than you can be very similar to the relationship Ellie has with her two brothers. I can't imagine what I would have done if there were two of him!!!
