Turns out I have Super Powers

I have a nagging feeling I've discovered Super Powers before, but I can't remember what they are. Maybe I have the SuperHero Power of forgetfulness?

But that's not what I discovered today.

Today I discovered that I had the amazing ability to look straight through reality as if it weren't there.

I had been out shopping, and came home and dumped my bags next to the ones the children had carried in for me. I do remember thinking the kitchen was even more trashed than I thought I'd left it.

A bit later The Grand Lunar asked me if we'd received some things we ordered. Things that would come in a Big Unmissable Box. We had received a package earlier, and I didn't remember seeing one by the door or on the way in through the kitchen, and there wasn't any placed on his desk by the children while I was gone. So I told him no.

I realized a while later that, given the state of chaos in the kitchen, it was possible that a smaller-than-expected box might have been overlooked, particularly if I was as distracted as usual.

So I went back to check.

And there, in plain sight, was not one but TWO HUGE boxes. Well, maybe not huge, but big and unmissable.

Also, I ripped the rear-view mirror off my mom's van without even trying. With my bare hands. Apparently in addition to my ability to look through reality, I have super human strength.

When I handed it back to my mom, she claimed that it falls off twice a year. I think she's just in denial, not ready to deal with having a superhero for a daughter. If she thought about that too much, she might worry that she has superhero powers herself. If I know my mom, she doesn't want that kind of pressure.

So. Anyway.

The ability to look right through reality as if it weren't there. And superhuman strength.

Wow.

If those things don't make me special, I don't know what would.

I bet your kids have inherited the "look through reality" ability. Especially when it is time to pick up! :)

I have one of those super powers. But dh has the other. I watched him as he pulled our rearview mirror off just adjusting it. Once it has been taken off (replacing a windshild) it will always fall off.

My kids are always asking me what super power I would want most. (yes the 17 and almost 16 yr. olds. LOL! They watch Heroes.) So now I will tell them the ability to look past reality.
