My Favourite Super Power

I do have a favourite super power: invisibility. If I could turn invisible whenever I wanted,  that would be awesome. I could be the proverbial fly on the wall. I could disappear from awkward situations. I  could slip under the radar. I could solemnly swear that "I am up to no good." (If you've read your Harry Potter, you'll understand that last one.)

I've done a mini survey at Brainboost, and most people would choose super-human strength (side track: my brother just told me richness was a super power) or speed, or the ability to shoot lasers from their eyes. But that's lame because there are machines to lift super-heavy things, so we don't need to be strong. There are cars, trains, planes, boats and such to get us places quickly enough. And there are lasers from machines that shoot targets, which is already cool.

My second-favourite super power would be the ability to read people's minds. It would make life so much easier if I could tell what people were thinking. There would be no assuming, only knowing. I would also know when someone is lying to me. It would be a shortcut to learning the body language of lying.

Under no circumstances would I tell someone that I have a super power.
