CRIKEY. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN.
A rhetorical question. Actually it wasn't even a question (I didn't put a question mark, did I?) ...more of a "wondering aloud". Seems like only yesterday, I myself was but thirteen, and not entertaining any deep thoughts beyond pondering how to dance without making people laugh and point.
Nonetheless, here am I, on yet another Mother's Day, reflecting on my three children. The thirteen year old boy loves comics (especially Spiderman); superheros with superpowers are a big topic of conversation around here.
This is one example:
He's always so eager at this point in the conversation. It's really cute.

When given a choice of what my super-power would be, I always answer, "The power to heal, my son" cuz check it out yo. That would be epic...you ain't got no problems if you got your health. Give folks their health, make the world better. And so on.
Well anyways, Happy Mother's Day. What would your super-power be?
PS. I've decided to be a little more personal with my blog.
My superpower? At this point, it would be to snap money clean out of thin air whenever I needed to. BIG bills. I'm talkin' hunnerd dolla bills, yo.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day to you, JC!
Ha. And you'll be saying "keep the change!" an awful lot.
DeleteHappy Mother's Day Kym!
Awww <3 xxx
ReplyDeleteMy superpower would be to make politicians & celebrities poop their pants (even if they'd just been)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THIS ANSWER.
DeleteI would love the power of teleportation.
ReplyDeleteTo teleport just yourself or does that include other people, objects etc?
DeleteHaving just read Off To Be The Wizard (great book, BTW), I'm thinking either teleportation (of myself and whatever I'm holding on to) or flight (again, me plus whatever I'm holding on to). It'd be even better if the teleportation was accessed as an app on my phone (like in the aforementioned book). Just bring up an area on a map, click it and I'm there!
ReplyDeleteThat app would be very cool...hopefully you could zoom in so you'd be sure not to land in the middle of moving traffic. Also you'd need really strong arms to carry whatever/whoever. Unless all they ave to do is touch you. Right?
DeleteIf I could have any superpower it would be to know in advance what I will regret not doing or appreciating more. I don't know if this would be the "You Only Live Once" superpower or the "Stop and Smell the Roses" superpower. Maybe the "You only smell the roses once?" Regardless the name that is the one I would choose.
ReplyDeleteThat would be ....YOSTRO? Except that you might regret not smelling them more than once.
DeleteWait. This is complicated time travel stuff.
I would really love to be able to slow down time. My baby boy decided to start pulling himself up on furniture at 7mos. He'll be chasing around big bro by 9mos I think. Also, I weave tapestry, which takes a great deal of time. I just wish I had more of the stuff.
ReplyDeleteI was at this really great conference in October (the Aiming Low Non Con), and one of the sessions asked the question, "what would you need to do what you want to do?" Thinking about that made me know that I'm already doing what I want to do - it's just that I'm not sleeping. So I asked for time...time to sleep. A 30 hour day would be great!
DeleteBut perhaps your superpower is similar to herroyalwineness's in that you want to be able to appreciate what's in front of you just a little longer.
