Thank you so much for all these comments
I've been smiling all day!
Ona, I actually wonder if it might be a combination of both. Either way, I think what I might do is have just one streetlamp be out at a convenient time to reveal the kryptonite. I'm still debating, and probably will be up until I submit this to the archive
Thanks for your opinions on the kids, too. I had been wondering about that. I have memories from very young as well, particularly one where I lost a watering can to a nasty undertow in the Atlantic Ocean... My dad decided I was better to save than the can, though I was fairly miffed at the time
That was when I was three.
