I used to haver normal smelling, but entirely silent farts all the time…
then I got a hearing aid, and it some how destroyed my secret ability…
I make people move. If I make friends with someone, no matter their current life circumstance or how long they plan on living in this town, they will move within 2 years. Usually within a year.
You can hire me out to make friends with your MIL. I charge based on your desperation.
I have three:
-
I can clean glasses (sun or regular) with any scrap of cloth and they’ll be spotless. Hubby loves this power and is constantly handing me his glasses to clean.
-
I have the uncanny ability to untie knots no matter how complicated.
-
I can chop onions without crying or tearing. (in all fairness my contacts might help with this)
I am totallly invisible to women.
I don’t know if it is a superpower or not but my husband swears I am really a superhero whose name is ‘Logic Girl.’ It gives me the ability to take simple day to day tasks or even complicated problems, boil them down to the simplist terms and resolve what should be done with them in seconds.
Usually, this is not a good thing. He hates when I take a problem he has been trying to solve and fix it in 10 seconds or less.
I have, however, now been given the mom superpower of always having the right answer. I thought it was just MY mom who could do that. Apparently, there is something that happens when you become a mom that lets you always be right.
(The combination of the two superpowers above is actually appreciated by my kids most of the time.)
I notice and remember things. Books out of place on shelves, mannerisms or “tells”, habits, funny things or sad. My brain sees and records them without me trying at all.
I have incredible spatial recognition. I can look at anything and tell you if it will fit somewhere or not. This is extremely handy when packing the car for a trip. I can also fit incredible amounts of stuff into a single suitcase. Not so handy now that there are fees for overweight suitcases…
I have the ability to cause TV shows to be cancelled, menu items to disappear from chain restaurants (never to return), and products to be discontinued.
All I have to do is say, “I really like this.”
But it only works if I mean it.
I would easily be known as “Fartman” had Howard Stern not already stole my title.
I have been known to clear out entire rooms. I was once at a general admission concert, where people were packed in so tight you could pass out and not fall down for an hour and I let fly. I thus created a 10 foot diameter clearing with me at the center, laughing.
I recognize this very useful gift and maintain secrecy about it, lest it be used for EEE-villll.
I have 3 powers, sadly, all are rarely used.

I can make pens work again, those ones that you’ve almost given up on. I don’t have a special secret scribble or anything, it’s just me.
