Wow! Just...wow! Nailed the emotions of the overstressed, overworked Mom. NAILED. (As soon as you mentioned the tornado in the house, I assumed they had twins or more.)
I echo the pleas for a second part. Hopefully from Lois' POV. As was said above, once she calms down, I'm sure some part of her will recognize how battered Clark looked when he came in and she'll be in full journalistic questioning mode.
Thank you for sharing.
