(If you’re poppin’ in for Fun Monday, scroll down š ).
Sounds like a Blogthigs quiz, doesn’t it? In this case, it’s not. The question is prompted by a conversation we had over dinner last night. I have no idea how this train of thought evolved, I just remember where it ended.
Stephen: "I’d want ice power."
Me: "Ice is a power??? Why ice?"
Stephen: "Yeah, it’s a good one. Like, if you’re playing football, you’re the wide receiver, you can shoot out the ice and bring the ball to you. Or if you freeze the yard, you can cut the grass just by breaking it off. And if a bee’s coming at you, you can just ice it and it can’t sting you."
There were some more, I can’t remember them now. He did tell me ice shoots out kind of like the webs on Spiderman; this is what he looked like–sans the costume–as he was describing his powers.
Thomas: "I’d want super speed. Then, if you’re running REALLY fast, then jump, you can fly, too."
Ah, ha! Two super powers for the price of one. He continues….
"But super speed is really an ‘ability’. Fire would be good. You can burn stuff."
Note to self: Hide the matches and the lighters….:/.
Rachel: "I’d wanna be able to fly. Then you can go to the top of the trees and play with squirrels."
If I’m not mistaken, she was mocking her brothers….surely, even if flight was her super power of choice, it would NOT be to play with squirrels. Note to self: probe further.
I think I’d like invisibility….
What about you? What would you choose?
I’m digging being able to play with squirrels. I’d choose that too. Also, it’s not so dangerous that the military would kidnap you for it.
I’d like to change forms like Mystique on X-Men. š
Sounds like y’all have been watching The Incredibles. š
My super power would have to be invisibility. I totally agree with you on that.
Inquisitor: That’s easy. I’d want “x-ray vision!”
GB: I’d want “super fast speed!” (*now he’s running around the house really fast making the “jjjjooooomm” sound*)
Susan: I’m with Rachel – I’d want to fly. I wouldn’t want to fly really high, though due to my fear of heights š It would be more about the ability to zoom to my parent’s house down the street to borrow a cup of flour and zoom right back.
Hah! We picked the same!
My daughter had the same conversation with us last year. She called me “Sarcasm Girl” for obvious reasons. Emma was Annoying Girl- I would guess because of her ability to annoy Anna at any given time, and Anna would be Fast Girl.
When she asked though, I wanted to be Invisible Girl. š
Jenny, valid point (because we ARE living in the world of make believe, after all š ).
Mike, so you wanna be a CHICK??? But then you’d have to shave your legs and stuff…:)
Chili, hmmmm, what if we were invisible AND we could fly???? Coo-coo-coolio!
Susan, X-ray vision is neato-torpedo, but there really ARE some things I’d rather NOT see! Hope that means GB gets a good nap in (or at least goes to be early tonight, lol).
Have I told you I’m terrified of heights? And I LOATHEDESPISEHATECANNOTSTAND that fact. It’s one of those things I’d love to change @ myself if it was simple :/. I mean, you couple carpe diem girl with an irrational fear of tall places??? Leaves me extremely frustrated :/.
MaryMert, Anna seems sooo young to have a grasp on you as sarcasm girl, smart cookie, she is :). I wonder what Rachel would’ve named me, her dad and brothers given opportunity (don’t think I’ll give her one, though š ).
Hey, thanks for stopping by 2nd Cup! How many times have I wished I was invisible?!
Well, since I can fly…on my broom, I would like to have the power to end all wars and fighting.
Oh I want invisibility, but I have to admit I may rob banks with my powers. If I can’t do that I’ll take flight.
I want MIND CONTROL – yup – I could tell anyone to do what I wanted them to do. (either that or be able to read their minds – i’m on the nosy side with this one)
My husband says: X-ray vision. (you can tell where HIS mind is.)
hilarious!
Rachel must enjoy making fun of her brothers.
I’d want the super ability to make children return library books on time – oh, wait, I already have that one, the librarian look, which when combined with the teacher look could make a principal cry! AIn’t life grand?!?
I would like to be able to split into two people (like superman could do)
so I could do more than one thing at a time
like blog and paint
or watch a movie and go gallavanting.
Think of the possibilities
I would want a memory superpower that would allow me to remember yesterday, my appointments, my wife’s birthday, what I read in the previous chapter of a book, and where I left my keys.
Oh, how I’d love to have the power to get people to pick up their dirty socks…
I’ve always had trouble deciding between invisibility and flight, but if really pushed to decide I’d have to say flight. I get rather jealous of birds and the sense of freedom they seem to enjoy. It’d be tremendous fun and a great way to get around, sort of above it all.
Y’all are so dang funny :). Thanks for ALL the smiles!
Swampy, sounds good to me…what would that Super Hero be named?
T.O.B., why you little thief! A criminal mastermind, people.
Karmyn, too funny. You AND your hubby!
LCO, I asked Rachel about this yesterday…she gave ME “the look” and begged me to take her comments off the blog….ha! Notta chance of THAT :). I can “see” your look and I’ve never even laid eyes on ya…it’s one of those universal glances for which NO ONE wants to be the recipient!
Pamela, you mean like cook and clean house? I hope not (I like your ideas better).
Tracey, now THAT’S a freakin’ super power that MEANS something!
James, Flight IS a close second to invisibility for me, too. Rachel and I were discussing this, and I told her until fairly recently, a current dream theme of mine was the ability to fly. Wonder why it’s not anymore. I’d love it, too, if the reality of my fear of heights wasn’t present.
But, hey, this is all for fun, right??? š
