To Develop: Blog 365 Day 38 – Dish Towels as Capes
By Jiddoe S'Phatt
Warmest greetings! My name is Jiddoe S’Phatt. Welcome to day
38 of “To Develop: Blog 365”.
Inspiration to write comes from a number of places. For this
blog I’ve been inspired by hip-hop artist Rick Chyme and producer
David K. Manley of Man@Work Productions. Through a collaborative project
titled #DailyPieces365
these two artists will release a new song every day for 365 consecutive days!
Their impressive dedication has motivated me to write a new blog every day of
2018.
A little piece of me goes into each entry I write. I hope
you enjoy this one!

You’d think pretending
to be Superman around the house wouldn’t lead to getting a whooping. Especially
since Supes is arguably the ultimate do-gooder.
When I was a really
young child I spent a lot of time imagining myself as Superman flying though
the sky. I wore a cape each time I did this. The problem was my cape was
never an actual cape.
I would tie long-sleeved
shirts around my neck. If I was wearing short sleeves I’d just pull my arms out
and dangle the shirt over my back. That was my least favorite.
I spent a lot of time at
my grandparents’ house growing up. When we’d sit down to eat my grandmother
would drape a towel over my chest to prevent me from spilling food on clothes.
She secured the towel behind my neck with a clothes pin. Often seconds after
she’d do this I’d rotate the pin to the front so the towel dangled behind me,
then run into the living room and “fly” on to the couch.
“Get back up to this
table before I whoop your butt!” she’d shout, sometimes laughing afterward
because I looked and behaved so ridiculously.
What would really tick
her off, though? I consistently swiped her dish towels to use as my Superman
cape. She’d be set to dry dishes only to notice it missing. Grandma always knew
where to locate it. The towel was tucked into the back of my shirt as I flew
around Metropolis.
A butt whooping wouldn’t
hurt the real Superman.
