Can we please have a "HEROES" topic? For parents similar to those with Gifted and Talented, but...

[VeniVidiVickiQV]

whose children do really gifted things like:

Turning invisible in a large department store when you turn your back for a split second.

Or who can apparently go for days without food or sustenance and still have the power of a duracell bunny?

Or can bend their bodies in order to escape any constraints?

Thanks

Can detect a fresh clean nappy and decide this is the best time to poo.

Be little angel for granny and dh so they don't believe you when you tell them you've had a bad day with dc

Find the phone charger you carelessly left on floor and chew the connector end.

[VeniVidiVickiQV]

I had 'politely' ignored that typo, and put it down to you thinking an awful lot of your DS ......

Orm - DS does that but with his head also on the floor - mowing the carpet...

[Cammelia]

Can logically insert into almost any conversation in public the facts of mummy's age and that she has dyed hair

[Aitch]

dd is Collapso Girl... tethered by caring parental arms she instantly defeats them by collapsing her body in an umbrella fold, slips from our grasp and out onto the open road. ker-splat!

[Bundle]

dd1: wrecks a pair of school shoes before she's grown out of them
eats own weight in mango
decides she no longer wants to do tap dancing 20 mins after you bought the shoes and she's scraped them to ruddy hell

dd2: tells everyone I'm 42
eats her weight in grapes
excels at role play (even with wooden spoons/sugar sachets)

[VeniVidiVickiQV]

LOL Cam - Ditto with DD except exchange "age" for "mummy has a fat tummy"

[diplodocus]

My DD can strip wallpaper faster and more thoroughly than any decorator (but obviously only in rooms that don't need decorating) - would it be unethical to hire her out?

[IWannaBeLikeYou]

How about that really strong wind that blew through the living room and spilled the milk/fruits/whatever on the rug? Or the "baby in you tummy" who smeared yogurt on the bathroom door?

[Kathyis6incheshigh]

My dd was so good at reaching things you were convinced were out of reach and knocking them off the table, that I realised she must have a third arm, extra long, like a tentacle. It moves at lightning speed, which is why you never see it, and is attracted magnetically to hot cups of coffee and anything made of glass. Most babies have them actually.

[Blandmum]

My two kids are Amazing-lose-all-his-school-uniform Boy and his sister Super-lose-all-her-school-equipment-Girl

[woodstock3]

ds appears to know to the second, no matter whether he's asleep/two floors upstairs/perfectly happy doing something else, EXACTLY when mine and dh's dinner is ready and then starts screaming for a feed. i no longer need an oven timer - just listen out for ds

[mamazon]

i have a magical dirty daughter. she can be placed in a locked empty room and will still emerge filthy

[funnypeculiar]

ooh, great idea. Can dd be the amazing bouncing baby? (fell off top of slide yesterday, down the stairs today. Not a scracth on her (& just cried til I let her climb back up the slide )
Oh lordy, I'd better keep her away from cheerleader's uniforms

[TheYoungVisiter]

My DS is CAFFIEN-NO - he can magically wake himself from his afternoon nap at the exact point I finish the washing up and sit down with a cup of coffee.

[Aitch]

[mummypig]

omg i am rofl so much at this thread I have given myself a coughing fit.
and I can't even think of my sons' superpowers of which I am sure they have many (probably rather along the same lines as becklespeckle mentions)

[essanel]

lol fab thread! my ds can instantly detect new clothes and will proceed to nearest ravoli/beans/paint to destroy clothes forever...

[Flamesparrow]

Oooh ooh ooh - My DS can fly!!!

He appears at the top of cupboards/climbing frames/windowsills with no visible means of being able to climb up there.

Also melts his arms through restraints.

DD has this magical waking skill whereby she will wake (no matter what time the alarm is set for) 5 minutes before it goes off, and appear at my side - so you feel cheated of that last 5 mins.

[liath]

LOL at flying ds. I'm convinced dd can teleport !

[missgriss]

My DD can fly too! She pulls the footstool to the middle of the living room, climbs on it, then takes a flying leap to the sofa (she's 17 month btw)

She is going to save a fortune by not having to by Easyjet tickets when she is older

[Kathyis6incheshigh]

rofl Missgriss. And at the whole thread, actually

[TheYoungVisiter]

[TYV takes a belated bow to Aitch]

It's new ack-shully. [preens]
