Cute!

Awww. What a sweet ending to a fun piece.

And I'll definitely second the sentiment about parenting being the toughest challenge. For me, at least, it is by *far* the hardest (and the most rewarding) thing I have ever done in my life, or am ever likely to do.

Joy,

Thank you!

Thanks, Lynn. Hubby and I are hoping to experience the challenge of parenting ourselves, one day.

Very funny and sweet.

Thanks, Kate! Glad you enjoyed. I remember what it's like to be a *pre-teen* and staring at Dean's gorgeous body!

That was super cute & fun! Love love love!

On a side note, my little sister's name is Rebecca Lynn, and, as the youngest, has been subjected to very similar conversations! Sooo funny!

Thanks, ML! That's way too funny! I only came up with Rebecca Lynn because I like the first name (hubby won't entertain it for future daughters) and Lynn is my own middle name. And yes, she's Lois and Clark's youngest child!

I learned something in this story that I've never seen anywhere before: Clark didn't date Lana for her personality!

Clark doesn't want his little girl to be a growed-up person? I'm surprised! How did it take 16 years for him to meet his first bikini? If there ever was a time when there is a double standard it is with a daughter and a skimpy swim suit. Lois needs to get her turtle necked, knee length swimsuit out and see how Clark appreciates it.

Love it!

I'm back from a quick business trip and what do I see? Another summertime fic!

So at today at lunch I plan on opening up the website and having a little fun with my salad.

Thanks DC!

Cute story.

It looks like I'm the only one here who thinks Clark should have won this argument. :rolleyes:

Pat! But, Clark doesn't have a problem with being able to sexualize his wife! And yes, he *is* just a man when it comes to the ladies. But geez, Lana must have looked *amazing* in that swimsuit for him to date her!

As for meeting the bikini, maybe this was the first time he wasn't off doing a rescue when she tried to slip out of the house in one?

Anytime, Morgana!

Thanks, Vicki. Clark's trying to keep his baby girl a baby forever.

Hmm…Lois is going to wear a red bikini and Clark’s going to be all hot and bothered?

Clark’s not happy about Lois going out in public like that?

Sounds like it.

Yep.

Little Kara-El is adorable!

All true. But still. She’s a Krytponian girl raised on Earth. He won’t need to worry about her getting into too much mischief.

Is that a crossover from Corn on a Cob?

Duh!

What’s he going to do when she heads out for spring break in a couple of years?

/points to above notice on her physical condition/

It could be worse: She could be wearing one with blue and gold mixed into it. And an S-shield or two.

Very cute! I liked this a lot. Well done!

Super-villians. Deadlines. Time Travel. But nothing drives a loving parent (superhero or not) crazier then a teen-ager pushing for her independence.

Oh Vicki, you are not the only one on Clark's side. He should hold his daughter back from growing up, but slowing down the ride just a little bit is wisdom. Lois, sorry on this one you are WRONG.

Why do I say that? I have brothers... enough said.

Brilliantly done DC.

Can hardly wait for your next offering!

Well done Vicki!

It recalled to my memory similar conflicts we had with our daughter.

All too accurately portrayed in your piece.

This is a really cute story. And it so reminds me of my parenting days.
Well done!

Hi, Michael! :wave


Well, a bikini does *bother* him.

Only he's allowed to see Lois like that?

I *love* throwing people off.



And just think, by that time, Ultra Woman stuff would be considered "retro."

Well, Marla-El, but thanks!

Or does he? With her powers and all, mischief made could be 1,000 times worse!

Huh, look at that. Nope, I can honestly say that didn't cross my mind when I was writing this.

Stalk...er...spy...er...watch...er...guard...from a distance?

<is pretty sure the boys are noticing her ah, *physical* condition too>



It's good that she's not flying yet, so she can't sneak out.

Thank you, Michael!

Thanks, Mouse! Glad you enjoyed it! I had fun writing it.

Thanks, Morgana. I have to say that I side with both Lois and Clark on this. It's good to slow down the ride, but they should trust her (so long as she's given them a *reason* to trust her). Clark's just bing a *tad* overprotective.

Next one should be coming sometime next month, I hope. I'm polishing and getting it beta'd as we speak!

Thanks, Ken. Funny thing is, I don't remember having fights/arguments like this with my folks at that age. I'm just young enough to still remember what my peers were like!

Thanks so much, Artemis! Glad to give you a little throw back to those days!

If you ask Clark, I'm sure he'll say yes. If you ask Lois, she'll likely pull out the green crystals.

Umm...I'm sure Clark would start dismembering boys if they were already noticing this particular condition. ML put it into A Matter of Destiny. You see, she's invulnerable. And thus, boys might not be physically able to achieve a home-run with her.

National Whisper: Superman seen at spring break wet T-shirt contest.

That's what steel bars on the windows are for?

Michael

Half the 16 year olds I see act/dress/are developed enough to look like they are 20. But watching Clark dismember the boys could be fun. Also, at home-runness.

<spews oolong tea over monitor>

So, that buys Clark 2.5 seconds of keeping her in?

Hmmm typo. I meant to say, Clark should not hold her back from growing up, just slowing it down a little.

There are plenty of cute one piece bathing suits to wear.

Anyhow, like I wrote before...great job!!!

If she's willing to do property damage.

Michael

Thanks again, Morgana!

Although, I side with Rebecca in this case. I've always despised one piece suits. I feel like I'm wearing wet saran wrap in them. :p

Angsty teen = yes?

Cute little Gen X story. Yes, I see Clark being the overprotective dad. Hello? He's the overprotective sort, isn't he? I'm guessing, if she wanted to she could speed off in the suit, but Clark would probably notice her going by. You mentioned that she was the youngest daughter, is she the only daughter? Or did he not have this problem with her older sister(s)?

I love that Lois is defending her daughter's choice in clothing (or lack thereof). Nice to see she didn't turn into an Ellen. (Not that any of us thought she would).

Fun story.

Thanks! Yes, Clark is very overprotective, isn't he? But if Rebecca had sped off, not only would he have seen it, but he probably could have beaten her to her ultimate destination.

In this one, she's the only daughter. I've been sticking with a formula of two boys and a girl for Lois and Clark. I dunno, it just works for me.

No, Lois is definitely *not* another Ellen Lane! Yikes!

Actually, I think Rebecca realizes the last thing she wants to do is rush out. If she does her father has every reason to bring her back. She may be an angsty teen, but she knows that it is more embarrasing having your father show up and tell you to come home than to miss the party entirely.

Yeah, that's always possible too. Being a teen is rough. It's got to be even worse when your dad has super powers. And pretty much every teen is embarrassed by their parents even when said parent is NOT hauling them home in front of their friends.
