My girlfriend, also a whistler/fluter, has magic red-tape melting laserbeams come out of here eyes. It is true and totally astonishing. If she wanted to, she could get a visa to China, walk into a zoo tomorrow, walk out with a Panda bear bound for the slave markets of SE asia, and nobody would blink. The customs officials would brew tea for her as she robs them of cultural heritage. I’ve seen her do even more amazing things back during the Cold War.
Me, I can change the pitch of my flute just by ingesting bubbly liquids.
Mine is a super-power because it’s not a cultivated skill or a sleep disorder. It’s an innate ability to enjoy a deep, undisturbed sleep. It’s also the reason the cat wakes up my wife, rather than me, when it gets hungry at 4 AM; I sleep right through its feeble attempts. (Luckily, our cat hasn’t learned how to grip a baseball bat.)
Knowing when people are thinking or talking about me due to some big issue (positive or negative, like family arguments and such), or are about to phone me. I hear a high-pitched hissing kind of sound (before the phone rings)..
Would you people please stop it now!?!?!?!?!? Yer drivin’ me crazy!
