Thanks for your comments, everyone. I'm glad the extremely domestic home renovation scenes didn't bore everyone to sleep.
I figured these two needed something positive and constructive and almost normal (well, as close to normal as a couple of superheroes are going to get) to occupy them for a while.
Kathy, thank you for reading and commenting. I'm glad you enjoyed this section and I agree, building their own house (especially since they don't have to deal with contractors) is a great way for them to spend time together. I also agree Clark should talk to Dr. Friskin about what happened. He doesn't always take my advice, however.
Thanks for your feedback, Flowerpot. Lois is certainly more patient than she was before (I think motherhood has been the primary cause for that change), but patience has its limits. As for Jon's comments...out of the mouths of babes, huh?
Ann, I'm glad you enjoyed this section (and that you learned some rather byzantine words). I'm a big fan of American architecture, so I'm hoping I didn't bore everyone with it. I agree Clark's thinking isn't rational, but I hope it's understandable. I also agree that a little sister would be just as nice as a little brother, but I don't fault Jon for his position. I'm sure the other kids at daycare have informed Jon that girls have cooties.
Thanks for your comments, DW. Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks, cookiesmom. You are right that there isn't just one love story here. I've always thought that Martha really enjoyed Metropolis more than Jonathan, so I figured this change would be much tougher for him than her. Oh, and I want that house, too.
Hi Michael. It's great to hear you enjoyed this section. I can definitely see Clark painting himself into a corner as you described.
Thanks for reading and commenting, Frequent Flyer. I'm glad you're liking Jon's story line.
More's coming up soon.
Regards,
