See, one of the few things I haven't already revealed about myself in previous blog posts is that I have always wanted to sing Broadway-style. You know, really able to belt out a song.
I am, however, not without other talents. Allow me to expound.
I am a terrific speller. Really terrific. And my son has inherited that talent from me.
And that leads me to another talent. I am quite good at Bananagrams. Being a terrific speller helps, as does the ability to see words in a random bunch of letters. My son and I always pick this game on family game night, because we beat the pants off my husband and daughter.
I can pick objects up with my toes. Both of my kids have this ability as well. It beats bending over all the time!
I have an uncanny ability to find a chin hair when I am nowhere NEAR a pair of tweezers with which to remove it. Then I dwell on it until such time as I AM near a pair of tweezers.
I can blog with a 24 pound cat lying on my right arm while at the same time head-butting my free hand, trying to cop a scratch on the head. (He is alternating this with licking my hand and looking adoringly into my eyes.)

I hate to brag, but there's probably no one better than me at avoiding housework. See? Doing it right now.
I'm also a gifted procrastinator in general. And I have passed that trait on to my son.
When pressed, my 14 year old daughter allowed that I was good at baking and chauffering her to all of her activities. She threw in "and giving hugs" at the last minute and called it my Mother's Day gift.
My husband contributed that I was excellent at buying produce that I ended up throwing away and at repairing leaky toilet valves.
I couldn't ask my 17 year old son for his contribution, as he is sleeping as late as possible to avoid studying for two tests that he has this morning. That's my boy.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to find a pair of tweezers.
