Tuesday Ten Linkup - Ten Superpowers I'd Like To Have

When I was younger, I  had a Wonder Woman bikini.  I'm sure I pretended to have her super bracelets and tiara, too.  Of course, I didn't have actual super powers like she did, but it was fun to imagine.  Even though we are now adults, it's still fun to pretend, right?  So, for today's Tuesday Ten, we are sharing what super powers we would like to have!

1.  Invisibility - There are times when it seems everyone is calling "Mommy!  Mom!!" at the same time.  Everyone needs something and I'm being pulled in a million different directions.  It would be great to just suddenly become invisible!  If I could be invisible, I could also spy on my daughters when they are older and dating (not that I actually would . . . ).  Is it wrong that I think it would also be fun to drive while invisible and see the expressions on the faces of all the other drivers?
2.  Super Speed - There is a reason Sheldon Cooper is such big fan of the Flash.
Think about all I could do if I had super speed.  Clean the house in 15 seconds flat.  Cook dinner in 30 seconds.  Type a blog post in under 60 seconds.  I might even find time to squeeze in some speed reading and make it to the gym!

 3.  Freeze time- Last week for Ask Away Friday, Rabia asked me if I would rather have a rewind button or a pause button.  Definitely, a pause button!  I would be great to freeze time occasionally so I could savor a special moment.  If everyone is arguing or whining, I could just freeze them, collect my thoughts, then deal with it calmly.  I could also use the power to prevent disasters.  When I see one of my kids tipping over their cup - FREEZE - so I could grab it before it makes a mess!

4.  Clone myself - Especially if the super speed doesn't happen, I would love to clone myself.  There would be one Lisa helping with homework, one Lisa cooking dinner, one Lisa typing a blog post, one Lisa folding laundry, one Lisa on the treadmill - you get the idea.

5.  A Magic Cleaning Wand - Harry Potter and Cinderella's Fairy Godmother have magic wands, so why not me?  I could just wave it at a mess, the mess would disappear, and all the things would be back in their proper places!

6.  The Ability to Read minds - Why are they so grumpy?  What is it going to take to get them to clean their rooms?  Who left this ice cream bowl out here?  If I could read minds, I wouldn't even have to ask!

7.  Mind Control - As long as I'm reading their minds, perhaps I could telepathically control them as well.  "Cleaning your room is fun!  You know you want to do it!  Go ahead! It will be awesome!"  OR "Our mom is the best cook! This broccoli tastes like pizza!  How does she do it?"

8.  Superhuman Endurance - I need sleep.  I cannot function without it.  But, if I had incredible endurance and could function on just a tiny bit of sleep (or none at all) I would have at least 6 or 7 extra hours every day to be productive!  Just think of the possibilities . . . . 

9.  Healing Powers - Who needs band-aids when you have Super Mom?!?!  I would love to know that I could simply touch their boo-boos - big or little - and make them disappear.

10.  Teleportation - I spend a lot of time in my car driving between schools, extracurriculars, church, and errands.  Since we live out "in the sticks," none of these trips are very quick.  Teleportation would save me oodles of time!

I'd love to be able to freeze time and also have the ability to read minds!

Kenya G. Johnson said...

We don't live in the sticks or the city but I'd love that teleportation as well. At least a Jetson's vehicle. I've been wishing for that since I was little. And forget the magic wand - I'll take Rosie as well ;-)

Janine Huldie said...

I always wanted to be like Samantha on Bewitched and be able to twitch my nose to move things or clean up my house! Seriously, would love that super power!! :)

Ginnymarie said...

If I had the power of invisibility, I'd also need the power to keep my mouth shut so that I wouldn't give myself away! ;)

Teresa Danner Kander said...

Great list....I have several of the same powers on mine!!

Marcia Shaw Wyatt said...

Love your list, Lisa - and love that video of Sheldon! I see several similarities between my list and yours - so if we had all these great powers, I think we'd probably be Superhero Sisters. :) Thank you very much for co-hosting this great link up each week! Hope you have a wonderful day!

Lisa @ The Golden Spoons said...

Those would be so awesome!

Lisa @ The Golden Spoons said...

Ha! The Jetsons had it made!

Lisa @ The Golden Spoons said...

That would be great! I used to watch that show, but had forgotten all about it!

Lisa @ The Golden Spoons said...

HaHa! That is one drawback to the invisibility power! :-)

Lisa @ The Golden Spoons said...

This one was fun!

Lisa @ The Golden Spoons said...

Thanks so much Marcia! Thank you for linking up!

CocoaCali said...

Love your list! We had a lot of the same ones but teleportation was GENIUS. How much simpler life would be :)

MamaRabia said...

Could I borrow your magic cleaning wand? Just once...then I promise I'd keep the house clean after that! OK, maybe once a month...
PS I love Sheldon!

Kim said...

I think I would like the mind reading power but after a day I might decide that life was better when I didn't know what people were thinking.

Tamara Bowman said...

Healing powers. What a great one! For fevers, and tummy aches and colds and those dreadful lingering coughs. Can you imagine how awesome that would be? And oh yes, for cuts and wounds too!
I still always say I want to fly more than anything, but I suppose that might not help my family as much as some of the others.

Dana said...

I had Spider Woman underoos - do you remember them, or am I dating myself? I would take teleportation in a second - think of how much more I could sleep if I didn't spend all day carting around my kids!

MommiFried said...

I loved that guy running around in his underwear! And I love the questions they asked! So cute!

Lisa @ The Golden Spoons said...

Thanks! That one would definitely be helpful!

Lisa @ The Golden Spoons said...

Sure! As long as yo upraise to give it back. :-) Sheldon is hilarious.

Lisa @ The Golden Spoons said...

Very true! Maybe selective mind reading - just my kids. :-)

Lisa @ The Golden Spoons said...

Oh, I would definitely use it on my husband - probably more than I would on my kids!

Lisa @ The Golden Spoons said...

I thought of flying, but then decided it really wouldn't be that helpful. Fun- yes. Helpful - not so much.

Lisa @ The Golden Spoons said...

Yes! I remember underoos! In fact, I think my Wonder Woman bikini was actually underoos that I wore as a bathing suit in our backyard!

Stephanie Rufa said...

Could I please just have the cleaning wand. I really, really want a cleaning wand!

Rachel @TaoOfPoop said...

This is such a cute, fun and funny post Lisa. And a very creative idea for a post. I can't think of another super power, b/c I think you got them all. #8 would be a revelation!

Tarana said...

Such a cool list! I really need a 'freeze' moment sometimes. I just linked up with a post on the subject I wrote earlier.

Lisa @ The Golden Spoons said...

Me too!! If I ever find any I will purchase in bulk!

Lisa @ The Golden Spoons said...

Thanks Rachel!

Lisa @ The Golden Spoons said...

Awesome! Thanks!

Lisa @ The Golden Spoons said...

Yeah - I figure if/when they get interested in boys who play the will figure it out!

Lisa @ The Golden Spoons said...

True! They definitely didn't understand what was going on in the game so they focused on other things.

Lisa @ The Golden Spoons said...

I used to watch a lot of college basketball. I go so into the games. But, now? I rarely watch any sports on TV.

Lisa @ The Golden Spoons said...

Thanks, Crystal! Thought it was ironic that, out of all the commercials, they showed that one during the ten minutes my girls watched!

Alison said...

I would love to be able to clean with a snap of my fingers and a nod of my head :)

Lisa @ The Golden Spoons said...

Yes! :-)

Aeonia said...

I have a superpower for real Mwah ha ha ha ha
