My Mom has superpowers.

Flash and Quicksilver have the ability to move at speeds much faster than a normal human. Electro has the ability to travel through electrical conduits and enter rooms through devices like TVs and computers. Frozone can reduce the kinetic energy of water in order to create and control ice.

My mom has a forcefield of cleanliness. She can manipulate and transform all forms of filth, dust, grime and clutter into a pristine, "garden-of-Eden" condition. And she does it with the speed of Flash! You don't even see it happen!

I'm convinced. She has superpowers. Apparently her ability also comes with bravery ... as she even cleaned the abyss underneath Megan's bed!!!

On the way home from the airport, I had a phonecall from my brother-in-law, Mark (whose twin daughters turned three yesterday). I told him about my mom and her superhuman abilities. He asked if I could put her on a plane to Portland instead of Canada. I tried. But alas. Airport bureaucratic manipulation is not one of my superhuman powers.

Thanks, mom! Of course, we love you (and Dad) for a million other reasons ... but we appreciate you sharing your superhuman powers with us for the past 10 days. Much love! Until next time.
