Hello everyone!

I'm back. This time I'm trying to write something describing the physical appearance of "My Hero" (and yes, it does sound a bit like a middle-school composition assignment). I would love any and all comments/critiques/corrections on what I've come up with, as well as an answer to the specific questions I have.

Question #1: I would like to say "...my mother, whom we/us kids affectionately call Superwoman." But I have two problems. First, I'm not sure what the Russian equivalent of Superwoman is - do they simply transliterate or translate the name, or is there a Russian Superwoman with a distinct personality/plotline/etc.? Second, would this even work in the Russian language? My teacher keeps warning us not to introduce any American humor into anything we try to do, because Russians don't "get" American humor. I think this might fall along the same lines, but I'm not sure.

Question #2: Does Винстон Черчилль decline? I'm not sure.

On to my attempt to write this thing. I *think* I weeded out all the typos, but if there are any left please laugh (if you like) and tell me.

Мой герой )

Thank you so much for your help!
