My Mutant-X Gene Would Be Lameness
As Josh and I walked home from picking up a cuppa at the local coffee shop, we passed a sports bar. The bar’s patio was filled with happy and rowdy 20 and 30-somethings having a great time watching the game and enjoying some brew.
I asked Josh if he ever felt like he was missing out on something by not being able to take part in that lifestyle. He replied no-that he doesn’t feel like he’s missing out by not really having the chance to go out and drink and be rowdy, but sometimes he does wish he could go out with a few friends, enjoy a beer, and stay out until 11:30pm.
It was at that point I had to remind him that we didn’t even stay out that late before Jude was born, so was he saying that he missed the life he used to lead before he and I got together? NO! Of course not… except that, well, it’s probably true since our lack of fun and crazy outings is really all my fault. I’m super lame, and I think I always have been. When we lived in PA, I didn’t do the bar scene because the bars were much too smoky (and because I valued my sleep and liked to go to bed early). Josh would have gone, despite the smoke, but I think he skipped going because he knew I would make him strip down to his birthday suit and shower the second he walked in the door.
So, if I were an X-Men, my name would be Lame-o (see, even my name would be lame), and my mutant-x gene would be lameness. I would emit lameness onto all I came into close contact with and they too would cease doing fun things and would instead go to sleep at 9pm and clean their kitchens for fun.
If you were an X-Men, what would be your name and super power?
First … You were not ALWAYS lame. I remember a time when you were pretty wild, which brings me to my second point. I, myself have become lame. I think the reason is because we drank beer and got rowdy at such young ages that by the time we hit the age for the bar scene, we were over it. At least that is the way it went for me.
My mutant-X gene would be invisibility so i could listen to others private conversations. I think that would be fun
Thanks, Leah. I had almost forgotten about those crazy middle/high-school days.
Invisibility would be a cool superpower. If I could be something other than lame, I think I would like to be able to apparate/disapparate… Wait, wrong kind of superpower…Make that teleport.
