Dun Dun Dun…Somewhere in a mountain city far away, Supermom enters BORDERS to purchase a gift for her artistic superboy. She is talking on her cell to her Superfriend Angi when she spots evil lurking in the 2006 calendar aisle! There on the shelf right next to Strawberry Shortcake and her little friends in the kid’s calendars is – GASP – a Playboy calendar, accompanied by a few other scantily clad supermodels on display. “I can’t believe this!” She exclaims to her superfriend. “Who in their right mind would do such a thing?” Anger flares in Supermom’s eyes as she looks around the store for a manager on duty. “I gotta go, justice must be done!” she tells her friend as she holsters her cell. The multi-pierced guy at the information desk summons a female manager, who loses her smile quickly when Supermom calmly but firmly tells her how inappropriate the calendar placement is. The manager replies, “I’ll let the general manager know, but I can’t do anything about it right now, you can see how busy we are”. “Thank you” said Supermom, then quickly proceeded to the mile long check out line. But before she is greeted by a jolly check out girl, the female manager reappears with a regained smile on her face. She happily tells Supermom, “I told the general manager and he just moved the calendars. Thank you for bringing it to our attention, Supermom!” Calmness and pride fill Supermom’s mind. She leaves BORDERS knowing the right thing was done, and she’ll do her best to conquer evil (and general stupidity) wherever she goes.
Yes, this was a true story, though embellished just a bit for dramatic effect. Thank God we have Supermoms and Superfriends around to stand up and protect the innocence of children everywhere. We must do our best to make a difference in the little ways as well as the big ones. Wouldn’t you agree?
