Last Friday night me and my boyfriend were watching X-Men
Origins -Wolverine and it prompted a discussion on the incredible ‘super’ powers and what
powers would be great to have.
So, after the usual discussions of the X-Men characters; the
one that is super-fast, the one who has laser eyes, Magneto (yay! I remembered
one of their names) and the one Sir Patrick Stewart plays (Oh – interesting fact: Sir Patrick
is from West Yorkshire, like me, you can tell with his accent ha ha ha ha)
Being able to turn invisible at a moment’s notice sounds
kinda cool, as does being able to fly.
With both of these being totally out of reach, I began wondering what I
could do to lower my sights somewhat.
So here’s a list of ‘powers’ I would like to acquire – these
belong to someone who’s super power is being Un-Clumsy:
- The ability to concentrate on doing one thing at once (Multi-tasking is excellent, but the more balls that are thrown at the juggler, the more are dropped)
- The ability to have time to complete all one’s daily tasks comfortably, from start to finish uninterrupted.
- Having crockery that is un-chipped
- Having glassware that matches (rather than looking like a bric-a-brac shelf in a Charity shop)
- The ability to look where you are going (thus avoiding walking into things and getting terrible bruises in fantastic colours. Who said purple doesn’t go with green? Although having adamantium coated bones would help!)
- Having a stain free carpet (maybe this Super Power involves owning a Vax?)
- The ability to consistently speak coherent sentences (rather than randomly blurting out words and leaving the recipient to put the words into an understandable sentence)
- The ability to make sharp, speedy decisions (rather than deliberate on doing the washing up or put a dark load in to wash)
- Have a good memory, to not have to write ‘To-Do’ lists …… (has anyone ever written something they have already done on their to-do list, just so they can strike it off with a flourish and feel a little smug?)
So, the ‘Un-Clumsy’ super powers still seem out of reach for
me, but you never know; one day, when disaster strikes and the only things that
will save us are; two chipped bowls, a half done ‘to-do’ list and a schnapps
stained carpet – give me a call - I’m your super hero!!
