*laughs* Oh yes. That needs stopping asap.

Lois: "You put up with me for the same reason I put up with you. It's because I'm completely in love with you."
Clark: "And I love you ... Did we just make up?"
Lois: "I think so."

CLARK: No. I'm just worried I'm a jinx.
JONATHAN: A jinx?
CLARK: Yeah. Let's face it, ever since she's known me, Lois's been kidnapped, frozen, pushed off buildings, almost stabbed, poisoned, buried alive and who knows what else, and it's all because of me.

Ouch! This is a development Lois and Clark needed to fix immediately.

Cute!  And now, for the speculation.  Shane must not be too much older than Sara, or he's adopted (not having come into any powers). Unless, of course, the powers aren't inherited. The event must be something other than "autographs with Superman", probably another key to the city, or Man of the Year award, or something, or Clark might have, with 1% of his brain, suspected Superman. I find it funny that Sara has been able to keep her crush secret from Dad. Lois probably knows and has been /psst. bakasi, you're missing a final closing quote mark at the end./

Hey, they say you end up marrying one of your parents...  Too cute! I can just imagine the look of horror on Clark's face from the way you described it! Well done!

Yikes!  I've read a few short stories where Clark's daughter was grossed out that her friends had crushes on Superman, but this twist takes the cake! I can just imagine the look of horror on Clark's face I'd like to see that. I imagine he would be quite speechless.
"It is a remarkable dichotomy. In many ways, Clark is the most human of us all. Then...he shoots fire from the skies, and it is difficult not to think of him as a god. And how fortunate we all are that it does not occur to him." -Batman (in Superman/Batman #3 by Jeph Loeb)

Clark calling his daughter "pumpkin" - I can so see that.
I would love to see how this father-daughter talk goes; way stickier, even, than the "birds and the bees" discussion.
Clark: "Lois, you know, I really hope someday that you learn, that sometimes what it seems like people are doing isn't what they're really doing."
Lois: "What are you, a fortune cookie?"

Oh dear. I can imagine Lois finding this situation very funny. Not so sure about Clark, though.
Amusing idea and well written.

Thanks to all of you for the nice feedback. I've had this idea for quite some time now, but I had no idea how to turn it into a story. Glad you enjoyed this.
It's never too dark to be cool.

I look out of my window and what do I see? Snow! In March! Oh, how I long to see the sun. Oh yes in deed. On the plus side, weather fits to the season North of the Wall. “Why don’t you ask Dad to take you?“ Shane suggested impatiently and sighed. “Sara, I’m trying to get my homework done. Little Clarkettes? “He will make fun of me,” Sara replied defensively. Clark? Nahh… But Sara’s temper was more like their Dad’s. So, a wuss, huh? CLARK: Hey! Come on, Shane, please take me to that hotel,” she begged. “Mom will go ballistic if I’m trying to get there alone.  Michael

This reminds me of a recent leaf on my Cartoon-A-Day calendar.
Two kids are at the playground at school. One says: "I think I have a crush on my teacher." The other kid replies, "Oh, everyone does that - wait a minute, you're home-schooled, aren't you, Oedipus?"
