Superfreak

OK — so in our house we always joke that everyone has some type of super power. Nothing as cool as X-ray vision or time travel. But super power nonetheless.

PC loves to kid me about my super powers, but finds a way to exploit them. My main super power is the freakish ability to find things that have gone missing…from across the house. Which augments PC’s ability to NEVER find ANYTHING he is seeking. The conversation generally goes something like this:

PC (from the kitchen): Has anyone seen my Blackberry?
FrumeSarah (from the master bedroom clear across the house): I think it’s in the kitchen.
PC: Where in the kitchen?
FS (still across the house); on the counter to the right of the kitchen sink.

Freaky, I know.

My other super power is also freaky and while it serves no practical purpose, makes for a great party trick.

I know what time it is. Without looking at a clock. I’m pretty accurate too. Usually never more than 15 off.

PC thinks it’s hysterical to randomly interrupt me with “Quick! What time is it?”

Tonight, after watching Made of Honor, PC asked me for the time.

7:49pm

“Well, that’s a first. Sure you don’t want to guess again?”

It was weird because I really didn’t feel that off. So I guessed 8:19pm.

“Wow — you’re not even close. It’s 9:00pm”

I figured it was due to the pain meds. Until I heard the laughter.

That’s right. PC’s watch had stopped earlier today.

It was 7:59pm.

Freak!

So what’s your super power??
