Martha Kent's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
I went to sleep with coffee ready to brew and when I got up Lois Lane had already brewed and drunk it and I tripped on her tape recorder and by mistake I dropped green food coloring in the muffins and Clark refused to come into the kitchen until I put them in the car and I could tell it was going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.
At breakfast Jonathan drank milk from the carton and Clark ate all the placed products and the cows didn't feed themselves.
I think I'll go work at the Talon.
When I went to park downtown Lex had let somebody drive all his cars into the parking lot. There was a car on the right of my space and a car to the left of my space and a car in front of it. I said that my space was getting scrunched. Nobody even answered.
I could tell it was going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.
Back at the farm the cows liked the hay Jonathan tossed to them better than they liked the alfalfa I gave them. When I did some paperwork for our organic certification I left out page sixteen. Who needs sixteen pages? I could tell it was going to be a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.
I could tell because the hospital said that Jonathan and I didn't have the strangest conditions anymore. Lana Lang had the strangest conditions and Lex Luthor had the second strangest conditions and we only had the third strangest conditions.
I hope you get nude people in front of your nude statues, I said to them. I hope the next time somebody brings in an amnesiac they just leave them there and go to the Talon.
It was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.
That's what it was, because after school Clark developed a new power and froze all the pipes. The plumber said if it had happened during winter, he'd have believed it.
During winter, I said, I'm going to work at the Talon.
I am having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day, I told everybody. No one even answered.
So then Jor-El started to control Clark and Clark kept saying that he was Kal-El and Dr. Swann sent somebody who looked like she'd been in a superhero movie. She might have looked like she'd been in a superhero movie but that doesn't mean she gets to show up on the farm.
When I went down to the caves Clark said that I wasn't supposed to put things in the holes in the walls to see if they'd fit but I forgot. He also said to watch out for the Kryptonite and I was careful as could be except for my elbow. He also said don't get near any beams of light but I think I vaporized the store across from the Talon. Clark said that maybe I shouldn't help figure out the caves.
It was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.
There were peas with dinner and Clark made a fuss about peas.
There was kissing on TV and Clark was there so Jonathan and I didn't get to do more than kissing.
Because Clark accidentally carbonized the peas there was ash all over the house and my nice pajamas and I had to wear my red and blue pajamas. I hate my red and blue pajamas.
When I went to bed Jonathan took all the covers when he got in and there was a thump from Clark's room and I bit my tongue.
It has been a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.
Jonathan says some days are like that.
Even if I worked for the Talon.
