To think I have super magical powers that others don't

I seem to be able to magically make toothpaste appear out of a tube that everybody else says is empty. I can do this for a couple of weeks at least.

I can also make things appear again when they have "disappeared". Nobody else in my family seem to have this special power.

Aibu to think I am unique?

Well, I am ill at the moment, and have relinquished all such magical powers.

So incredibly restful... I really recommend it! Grin

grocklebox · 10/06/2014 15:29

I have the magical power of being able to make meals out of...wait for it.....the shitloads of food items in the fridge, freezer, and cupboards!
No-one else in my house can do it. I am awesome.

YouTheCat · 10/06/2014 15:31

I can magically put empty cardboard tubes in the bin!

I also have the power of knowing that a scrunched up towel will not dry.

CaulkheadUpNorth · 10/06/2014 15:35

In awe of some of these skills. I am the only person in my house who can read road signs or street names.

JoeyMaynardsghost · 10/06/2014 15:36

I know that underwear, no matter how much it's left to its own devices on the floor will not magically end up clean and in the drawer without some human intervention involving a laundry basket, washing powder and the white noisy machine in the kitchen that scares the bejeezus out of the cat whenever it starts to spin.

The machine, that is, not the cat.

This applies at all times and there is no exemption for "but I need it now" which results in a firm "tough, not my problem"

By seeing which empties are in the recycling bin I can replenish the fridge and food cupboards even though I haven't consumed the items in question and no one else could be bothered to mention using up the last drop.

My DSis and I like different tv programmes so I can predict when she's likely to ring me! Clue: not two minutes before her top five are showing.

Our house exists in a rather freaky invisibility force field. Anything placed on the floor becomes instantly invisible, including coats, school bags, shoes, toys, books.
Luckily I possess the awesome power to negate the invisibility zone. It takes a huge amount of energy for me to overcome the force field and sometimes the zone reasserts itself before my DCs have time to see the item and pick it up.
But I keep trying.

BrieAndChilli · 10/06/2014 18:02

I can make things magically appear right where I said they were when other people swear blind they rare not there and have looked 10 times.

MrsCakesPremonition · 10/06/2014 18:04

I also have the ability to telepathetically know where everyone else in the house is meant to be at any given moment in time even when they have no concious knowledge of where they themselves are meant to be.

Spooky.

iklboo · 10/06/2014 18:05

When shopping or on crowded streets I become completely invisible to others.

hudyerwheesht · 10/06/2014 18:31

I have quite a few of these but also a truly awesome one: I am The One Who Can Tell The Time.
Not only that but I can keep track of it too so when the rest of the family are running around panicking and asking what time it is or if it's time to go yet all I need to do is look at the clock (which nobody else can see - apparently its invisible to them) and,voila, I can't let everyone else know what time it is and whether we need to leave soon or not.
Just as well I possess this particular magical power, I have no idea how the DC would get to school or or how we every make it to any appointment without me.

hudyerwheesht · 10/06/2014 18:31

Can, not can't.

Shewhowines · 10/06/2014 18:52

Oh joey there is no magic in your house Sad

I am not unique Sad I feel this is rather a special female power though.

I have superpower of being always able to squeeze one item of clothing or a book into a tightly packed luggage
also one more plate to fully loaded dishwasher

JoeyMaynardsghost · 10/06/2014 19:02

shewhowines no magic in my house no... no wine either.

Must correct the latter. So what it's a school night? :)

HenriettaTurkey · 10/06/2014 19:02

I have the magical power of closing cupboard doors...and cleaning up as I go along.

It's truly impressive. Wink

Grumpyoldblonde · 10/06/2014 19:09

I am losing my magical powers as I am trying to train others in this house and mine are draining, I find myself saying things like "Find it yourself" and " I don't know" - I still have the power to mix a G & T though, some powers never leave you!

DioneTheDiabolist · 10/06/2014 19:17

I am the only one in my house with the Power To Close Doors. I'm not sure whether this is down to special sight (maybe only I can see the doors) or super human strength. I also have the power of Healing With Kisses.

redexpat · 10/06/2014 19:52

I can change a toilet roll. Incredible.

londonrach · 10/06/2014 19:57

I am amazing....I find car keys, phone chargers and magically make food appear in the fridge and cupboard. Just come back from a week at parents to be told there were no shreddies in the cupboard and the washing had built up and so had the washing up.... Hmm

londonrach · 10/06/2014 19:58

Red yes toilet rolls and kitchen rolls....magic...

pluCaChange · 10/06/2014 20:58

Hmph. After boasting about my restful incompetence, I decided to get up for a bit today, and make myself properly tired (so I can actually sleep), and DH suddenly discovered his enjoyment of restful incompetence and went to sleep! Hmm I did wake him, though, when the children were moaning to be fed, because I haven't yet regained my powers of standing for ages to prepare some food, while all sorts of toys and cushions are dragged into the kitchen, apparently as some sort of offering to the household spirit.

supersop60 · 13/06/2014 18:54

I am The Finder Of Things.
Or, more recently - The Knower Of Where Things Are but I Am Not Going To Get It For You.

Watercolourfootballs · 13/06/2014 19:15

My DS thinks I have super powers because I can say 'no' or 'stop' before he has opened his mouth to ask or even moved in the forbidden direction. He has no idea how it is that I can so accurately predict what he is going to say/do.

While both being old enough to know that I don't have eyes in the back of my head they still cannot work out how I know which child is sneaking up behind me hearing or how I know who is sneaking down the stairs after bedtime mirror over the mantelpiece

Amy106 · 13/06/2014 19:21

I can see when there is no milk and then make it magically appear in the fridge. It is a unique power no one in the house has.Smile
