Needed this laugh. I'm weirdly good at finding sharks teeth at the beach, ive had tourists pay me to get some for them, haha. And I think my super power will come in the following years raising DS being mommy and daddy, I'm also weirdly good at a ton of "guy" stuff, more so than anything super girly (i can't french braid my hair but i sure can fix your car )
I can effortlessly lick my nose. Also I apparently have a weird range of motion as pointed out by DH. I can pick things up with my toes. I have many strange talents.
I can read super fast. And since becoming a mom, I can do just about anything one handed!

I am in awe. I managed to half clean the bathroom toilet and sink yesterday. The only clean and organized stuff in our whole house is. Stuff baby touches.
I also have a weird knack of Disarming people with humor so that they open up. It's very Useful in my professional life. I must just have one of those faces...people will tell me anything.
I am a child whisperer. I can get even the most wild and disobedient child to behave. Also I can shop for others and pick out things they love even better then they can....and I can chug a beer shockingly fast.
I'm kind of excited that DD inherited my monkey toes. She's already doing more with her feet than hands, kicking her activity gym to get things singing, rather than grabbing at stuff with her hands.
I can fix just about anything or at the very least, patch it up so it can work for a little bit longer using just stuff I can find in a normal house/garage.
I can tell when a child is misbehaving in the vicinity even if they're behind me and completely silent or in another room. It freaks my niece out fairly often.
I have ninja cat feet. Not on purpose, but I don't make a sound when I walk so tend to startle people by accidentally sneaking up on them. Works well with the skill above for scaring the kids into behaving.
I seriously was going to put the same thing. I guess my talents aren't that rare. I can also pinch really hard with my toes. Drives DH crazy. I also can't whistle while blowing air out, sucking air in is the only way I can. Lastly, I can fold my tongue to look like this } it's cooler than just the taco fold :P
I can pink up things with my toes and tie a cherry stem with my tongue. Also can cross my eyes and un cross them one at a time, drive with my knee( and not just straight), raise my right eye brow but not the left and pop all my joints! One of he most important is I kiss boo boos and make then better!
EDIT: totally forgot that I relate everything to a scene from a movie. It's like I remember all the movies I've ever seen so when someone says or does something that triggers a memory of a scene from a movie. Usually I tell the person and they laugh at me, not with me just at me.
I can cry on command. Or maybe that's the hormones and lack of sleep. Um...I'm a gamer and on the rare occasion LO lets me play, I'm better at staying alive than people not constantly checking on a baby. I'm good at making people laugh. I hope LO has my sense of humor.
I have a freakishly good memory at recalling songs*. Play a measure or two of the original recording and I can name it or start singing along. I wish there was a way to monitize this talent
I can write and draw upside-down and backwards so it is right-side up and legible for someone facing me. I didn't realize this was odd until someone pointed it out during a game of pictionary.
@ksspiff I can cover you in country from classic through 90s Nashville up to current Texas/Red Dirt. I don't even realize I know the songs until I suddenly find myself singing all the lyrics. Honestly, though, eff popular country these days.
I can remember a large amount of kids names at one time, and I remember them forever. This always impresses my clients when I can ask and recall all 16 kids names that came in for a birthday party.... However you ask me to remember the few adult people that can with all the children I could not remember themvwith a gun to my head. It's impressive:)

I'm great at styling other people. Not so much myself, because I'm super paranoid about budget and I let that get in my way.
Dogs love me. Other people's dogs will follow me around when I'm at their houses. Sometimes annoyingly so.
*excludes country and hip-hop/r&b/rap
I also have pretty good organizational skills.
