Picture it, if you will.....
The villain and the hero position themselves for battle.
Swords in hand and knees bent they are ready for battle.
They face each other.
It is a tense moment.
"Come out and face me, Howard!" Yells the villain hoping to get his digs in to the hero and shake his confidence.
"MO o OM! G called J-man a coward!" Hollers the damsel in the wings. She is, after all, the keeper of the rules.
"No he didn't," was my reply as I put a contact in my eye (rhyme is unintended), "he called him Howard."
"Oh," she starts to say logically, "he thought it's an "h".... " But it's too late, her logic falls on deaf ears.
Plastic strikes plastic, and the battle has begun.
It's not long before the Bible-Bat-SpiderMan hero needs his cape readjusted as the villainous older brother says "Take it to Mom." (I am after all supreme High wardrobe mistress....)
A day in the laundry pile is never complete without a sword fight.
