Demigods

There is so much beauty in the omnipotence! In the few short years when kids think that Mom and Dad are some mystical Gods and assign all power, knowledge and capabilities to them, parents can really reap the benefits of all the sleepless nights, junk-covered floors and broken gadgets. I experience this feeling every day now and can't help but believe a tiny speck in my own super-powers.

Broken toys? I fix them.
Hurt elbow? I kiss it.
Coughs and sneezes? Mom has just the right tools.
Bored? Dad has a bag full of foolish tricks to make Sami laugh.
Scared? Like from watching the horror movie Lord of the Rings for example? Mom will hug you and the monsters immediately become as timid as elves.

And so we breathe these minutes with full breaths, for we know that before we wake up, the little cuddly, curious, trusting, loving creature will be a relentless teenager, just like the ones we used to be.
