Owen: “What power would you choose if you could have any power you wanted?”

Me: “Hmm…the power to not forget anything!!”

Owen: “But then you’d never forget ANYTHING and your mind would be too full of all the little stuff that doesn’t matter – plus you’d NEVER forget all the bad stuff.”

Me: “That’s true…well how about the power to never be tired? ”

(Can you see where I’m going with these? Overworked, worn out mom here…)

Owen: “But then you’d never sleep , and if you didn’t ever sleep…

…you’d die.”

Sheesh. I just can’t win.
