Yahoo, you posted!

Well, if we're going to introduce a splutter warning, you sure have to apply it to this story! My, did I get a few many laughs out of it!

Miss Lane? Mom? I had forgotten about her. Now that I'm looking at her, she kind of looks like she's trying to disappear. She's moved closer to the door.

"Mom! Don't you dare run out on me!!!
Good girl! Tell your mother what to do - or what not to do. razz

"De-delighted to meet you, Miss Lane," he stutters. "I'm Dick - eh, Rick Grayson."
Dick again... goofy

Quote
"I'm very glad to meet you, Rick," she says solemnly. "Thank you so much for taking care of my daughter. And please call me Lois."

Rick turns the color of tomatoes. How many shades of red does this boy have for his face? Guess he isn't going to call Mom Lois.
[Linked Image] Well, he has just made the acquaintance of Mad Mom Lane...

"Naaah - your grandparents have this really nice dog who kept me company in the barn. He kept me really warm, too."

Grandma is rolling her eyes. "Jonathan, I told you - old Timothy is no good as a watchdog."

Grandpa is grinning. " No, but he's very good at taking care of nice people!"
Sweet bantering between the two Kents. Love it!

I can see Mom's body turn to steel. Uh-oh. You'd think the sheriff would have learnt not to mess with my Mom by now. I can only hope she's going to survive the crash when Mom collides with her full force.
As I said, Mad Mom Lane...

Batman. Right. Oh boy. He's standing here, right in front of us. Right in front of me. I mean, how big is he? Is he seven feet tall? Eight? And how wide is that chest? Isn't it against the law to have a chest like that? And those arms... and those thighs... and... and....
Hey, that girl is only twelve years old! And already looking for those assets? My, was I a late bloomer...

Look at that suit. It's dark gray, except it's kind of black too or even dark blue. And it's so skintight that - that it fits him like a c-nd-m, you know? Please don't think I know what anything looks like when it's inside a c-nd-m - I mean.... uh, it's just that the boys in my class always say... oh, never mind....
[Linked Image] This is priceless! Stuttering about that sort of thing...

Quote
But his suit fits him like a second skin, I'm not lying to you. Like it really was his skin. His muscles ripple right through it. You can actually see the veins running along his arms. The only place where his suit covers him up a bit better is between his legs, because you can't see if, if he, what he, uh, looks like right there, ehhhrrrmmmm....
Oh, my, where is she looking? She's much too young for that! Or is this what she wanted to do: [Linked Image]

Rick sure knows he said the wrong thing earlier. He's all red in the face again. Kind of sunset-colored this time. Bit streaky.
Streaky? As in striped?

Quote
The sheriff goes all white. Hmmmm. Stand her next to Rick, and then you just need to get someone who's blue with cold, and you've got the American flag.
This one got me laughing so hard... [Linked Image] Did I mention that there are just not enough lauhing smilies on this board?

Quote
That should teach her not to lock up twelve-year-olds for no reason at all... I mean, totalling a shed, a car, some trees and a cell is something that could happen to anyone, isn't it?
Oh, sure. Things like that happen every day. Unfortunately, people who do that usually get in touble.

Quote
I have to look at her feet to see if there's a puddle there. Sure enough her shoes look wet, so she's either melting or else she's got a world record case of sweaty foot odor. I guess it could be just stinking feet, because I can smell her.
Beware 'Eau de Sweat Socks'! There might be pheromones inside... [Linked Image]

More like the sort of baby girl pink she didn't buy for me when I was a baby. Oh, but Uncle Perry and Aunt Alice bought me all the pink stuff I could dream of.
That's so like Lois...

Quote
Will he be really angry if I borrow Mom's cell phone to take a picture of him?
Well, if you're Lois' daughter, you'll just find out. No need to check the water level first. [Linked Image]

Rick's the only one who looks unimpressed. "How the heck does he do that?" I whisper to him.

"Do what?"

"Park that thing where no one sees it?"

"Don't know," he confesses. I stare at him.
A valid question. In the Batcave? Besides, I remember that once he got his tyres stolen, so, obviously, people (like Jason Todd) are able to find it.

Quote
And then, BAM! The car is there!!! I can see it!!! Just like that! Just like it popped in out of nowhere! I sceam and I jump ten feet straight up in the air, I swear I do.

And then Batman is behind me, putting a hand on my shoulder. And I scream louder than ever and jump clear over the barn. Then I guess I bounce and come back to where Batman is, and the Batmobile.

I land on top of the Batmobile, too. On the shiny black roof of it. Wouldn't you know I dented it a little?
She really has to stop jumping. notworthy notworthy notworthy
