The Adventures of Super Hornet

Look!  Up in the sky!  It's a bird!

No, It's a plane?

No, It's...It's...

SUPER HORNET!!!!!

    Flying around Saginaw Township Super Hornet is looking for little children who are fast asleep in their beds not wanting to wake up to get ready for school.  As he buzzes down Center Rd. he notices a little girl not wanting to open her eyes to start the day.  Little does she know that if she doesn't wake up she will miss the bus to school.  There is only one thing left for Super Hornet to do.  DIVE BOMB! 

     A small buzzing sound fills the air.  Suddenly I am tickled endlessly as my mom tries hard to wake me up.  I scream, "I"m awake! I'm awake!" in hopes to stop the tickling. 

     That is pretty much how my mornings started as a young kid.  I was never a morning person but somehow Super Hornet always saved the day is getting me out of bed.  My mom would do the same to my brother and sister too.  I don't know how she came upon the making of Super Hornet but it worked as far as getting us up out of bed.   

     There would be times as soon as my mom started in with her announcer voice of "Flying around..." we would pop out of bed in lieu of being tickled.  Other times we would bare through the rhetoric and try to stop the buzzing hand looming overhead only to fail as she used her other hand to tickle under our arms or in our sides. 

     I have carried on the tradition with my own children of having Super Hornet attack.  In the morning  I go into their rooms.  I usually start with the boys.  As I tip toe across the room I catch myself saying, "Flying over the village of Sears..." then I hear the boys shout out, "I'm up! I'm up!"  They will pull the covers over their head as I get closer.  No one knows which one Super Hornet will attack first.  I can hear giggles of anticipation coming out from the covers.  I pick a ramdom boy.  Scream of laughter come from under the covers as Super Hornet tickles the belly.   The other boys, not wanting to be attacked, usually jump out of bed.  An awake child is Super Hornet's only weakness. 

    I walk over to the girls room.  They hear my footsteps.  Already I hear shouts of, "I'm awake!  I'm up!" coming out of their room.  Super Hornet buzzes inside their room.  Their eyes are still shut.  The buzzing gets louder and louder.  Then about this time they sit up.  Super Hornet never fails to save the day! 

     So beware citizens of the world.  You never know where Super Hornet may strike next to awaken you from your deepest of slumbers.
