Not sure how to describe it. Early 1980’s huge fan of superman, parents got nagged into submission, but bought a pijama set because they didn’t want to go around with their son in costume during the day. (submitted by Epilef)
“My daughter Laura went through a phase where she insisted on being called Superman. The pajamas, cape and Superman Slippers were her favorite outfit, and she pranced around for hours on end “flying”. I sometimes wonder what the neighbors thought, but it doesn’t matter. She’s still my SuperDaughter, even though she ditched the cape long ago.” (submitted by Barb Eltz)
