Mine is that I can make a meal out of any old shit I find in the back of the cupboard/fridge! I should be on that old Ainsley cooking show where they give you a potato and a banana and ask you to make a meal 🤣

I know where everything is. At all times.
DS "Mummy, where are my football boots?"

Me "one is under the chair in the kitchen where you kicked it off and left it and the other is in your boot bag which is hanging up in the Utility"

DH "have you seen my keys"
Me "yes darling, they are in the bathroom next to the toothpaste"

DD "do you know where my hockey stick is"
Me "in the back of my car, where you left it"

It's fucking exhausting.

When I meet someone new I can tell before they open their mouth if they are a twat or not. Years ago my DH told me off saying I shouldn't be judging some guy we had just met before he had even said anything. A week later he said "Sorry you were right he is a twat" Smile

I can get any child to sleep regardless of how fussy they are for their parents. (Only likes being pushed in a pram, pah, easy, will only be rocked, not a problem, only sleeps in the car, we'll see about that! Grin)

I can clean up after myself. No one else in my house seems to be able to.

I can hear voices and see things that aren't really there. OK, that's my psychosis and not a superpower but I'm rolling with it Grin

I can hear a child sneeze from upstairs when I'm downstairs with 2 closed doors between us (I'm autistic with very sensitive hearing) I've never needed a baby monitor.

@InMySpareTime

When I hear the sound of coins falling onto a hard surface, I know which denomination of coins they are by the sound. This even works in busy places and at a fair distance. Often I sort of look round to find out who just dropped two 20ps and a pound somewhere on the station concourse for example. I briefly lost my ability to detect pound coins accurately when the new ones came out (they sound like €1s) but soon got my ear in again.
This is so random and cool in equal measures

I can cut hair. I started by cutting my mother's hair when I was twelve, and at university I had queues outside my room of people wanting hair cuts. I still cut hair for friends and family. I love to do restyles, cut bobs etc. Also I love to put make up on people. I can make anyone beautiful with a hair cut and make-up. That is my super power.
I have never been to a hairdresser or beautician.

@Fearless9286 having just tried, I can confirm that I too can turn a bath towel into a turkey!

Updates superpower to "I can turn towels into poultry" Grin

I can find lost things, even in crazy obscure places, by emptying my mind, focusing on the missing thing and waiting for the answer to come to me.

@Fantghjn

I can make 3 children of 3 different ages sleep at the same time.
What kind of sorcery is this? Please share!
