Why Super Naked?

Anyone arriving here probably immediately thinks the name of this blog has to do with sex. It doesn't. Well, not always. It does have an origin rooted in nudity though.

When my son was much younger, he went through an underwear phase. All kids do. They just don't want to be dressed. So he'd spend days on end in his briefs wandering around the apartment. One day, he runs into the living room barely able to contain his excitement. He shouts, "I'm going to be SUPER NAKED!"

Being parents, you quickly learn early on to fear anything that has an original name attached to it. Did it mean he was going to be naked but wearing a cape? Was he going to remove his skin? We immediately began interrogating him before things got crazy.

As it turns out, being "naked" means you are wearing underwear. "Super Naked" is when the skivvies come off, and you parade around in your birthday suit. We had a good laugh after he explained it to us, but the phrase stuck. Ten years on, it's the standard expression I use when describing myself au naturel.

So why name this site after that? Well first, it allows me to share one of my favorite parenting stories. It also preps any of you out there who might date me in the future about what I mean when I flirtatiously ask, "Wanna get Super Naked?"

Most importantly, I think it capture the essence of this site. My hope is to be open and candid about my thoughts, feeling, and opinions. I am going to bare myself to you. In essence, you will see me Super Naked in my writing, and hopefully your reaction will be more positive than those who have seen me Super Naked in the flesh.
