Superman 05.02.07

Robbie's habit of wandering around the house in his pants causes a number of problems, there is the obvious horror factor of course, but there are less obvious difficulties too. It gives him the idea that he is Superman - we don't have many mirrors in our house!! He always thinks that he can take on the world, that's fine most of the time, but he is rubbish at taking care of his own health. He forces himself to keep going when his legs or his back hurt and then he ends up hardly able to move and all he can do is lie on the floor. There is no point nagging because it doesn't make a scrap of difference, but I do worry about him, he was so bad today that he couldn't manage to get to work. I hate it when this happens because far from being Superman he is more like an incapacitated troll! Unlike most of us he absolutely loves his work and he is impossible if he has to miss a day.
