Superhero Joey
Joey put on his mask and flapped his cape in front of the mirror. He was going to a
costume party, where prizes would be given for the best costumes. “This is the best
costume,” he thought. “I’m going to win the contest!”
Joey skipped downstairs. “Nice costume!” his dad said. “I’m a superhero, and I’m
here to rescue you!” Joey shouted. “Joey,” said Joey’s mom, “I need you to watch Mindy
during the party.” “But mom!” Joey complained, “Superheroes don’t have sisters!”
“This superhero does,” Joey’s mom said, giving him a kiss on the head. “What could
Mindy’s costume be?” his dad asked. “I know!” Joey shouted, as he ran back to his room.
He dug through his clothes until finally, he found it! His baby blanket!
Joey walked back to his family proudly and put the blanket around Mindy’s
shoulders. “You can be my sidekick, Mindy! I’ll be Superhero Joey, and you can be Sidekick
Mindy!” Joey said happily. Mindy gave him a big smile.
At the party, Superhero Joey and his sidekick, Supergirl Mindy, won first prize! It
was the best day ever.
