Super Powers
My friend Christina recently asked what Super Powers we would have, if we could have Super Powers.
Of course, "super" is all relative. I'm sure that some of our devices in the United States might seem like Super Powers to primitive tribes in South America. Don't say devices don't make you super, because that's really all Batman had. But back to the being relative thing ...
Once I realized that, I realized I *do* have some "super" powers, at least among my children.
Apparently a few of them are:
- being able to see toys on the floor, which are invisible to everyone else.
- being able to remember to brush my teeth.
- being able to get all of my teeth when I do brush them, rendering them shiny and clean and minty fresh.
- seeing crumbs on the table, much less plates
- seeing socks on the floor
I'm sure there are others.
Is Sarcasm a Super Power? Boy, do I hope so.

Posted by: Dale at March 30, 2007 1:49 PMI agree with your Super Mom powers! And it sounds like you have superior brushing ability so you will not need a visit from: ~Re-Fresh~
HA! :)
i think Batman had sarcasm AND Robin.

Posted by: Theresa at March 30, 2007 5:23 PMOooh, superpowers. According to my kids, I must have the ability to see through walls because I know when my little sugar addict has filled his mouth to overflowing with sugar. I know when Miss Lick and Promise has wiped the counters without moving anything. I know when Miss Yes Ma'am My Room is Clean is being less than totally truthful. And I know when Miss Hates the Tub runs water in the bathtub but never steps foot into it.
My superpower came with my Mommy's license. You know - the one they give you after you pass the Mommy test.

Posted by: Rosanne at March 30, 2007 8:07 PMLOL on what Dale said! I know he didn't mean me, but this Robin is the queen of sarcasm at times. Tee hee hee!
"This" Robin is nicknamed Veggie Woman, able to leap tall carrots in a single bound.
Thank you for your botanical wisdom once again! Hugs, Robin
Posted by: Robin at March 30, 2007 11:14 PMmy superpower is the ability to smell mildew and taste freezerburn which mere mortals cannot detect. *dons cape; runs into wall* =P
