I'm linking up with the great community of writers at Lisa Jo Baker's blog for Five Minute Friday. Today's prompt is "hero". It's writing for only five minutes, unedited. Otherwise, I could have included the entire list of super heroes that my family is obsessed with.
I admit it. I’m a misfit.
An outsider.
But I fake it well.
I married a nerd. And, we successfully raised three of them.
They are all young adults now, but they were raised by a super hero loving dad.

And, a mom that kind of limped along and faked her enthusiasm. At first.
I admit though, that they’ve swayed me quite a bit.
They’ve swayed me to appreciate Star Wars even though I
cannot quote all the movies like they can. My daughter even made a video a
couple of years ago about her first crush.
You guessed it. It is Luke
Skywalker. (You can see her video here)
My husband has been a trekkie since he was a kid and his
obsession has just grown over the years to now include obsessions over the new
Star Trek movies with Chris Pine in them.
I’m not complaining there.
But, I
still can’t quote the movies like my family can.
I’m kind of a super hero movie buff wanna be.
I don’t say
much when they all geek out and my husband quotes Captain Kirk and Scotty.

| The one with the Scotty obsession |
People, he named his car after Scotty!! Because
Scotty is an engineer and can do no wrong and he sets everything right on that
ship,
the Enterprise I think it is.
Also, Scotty has a red shirt and my husband’s car is red.
Obsessed much?
I may be a misfit, but I wouldn’t change a thing.
Boldly going where no woman has gone before.
