New Leaves

A conversation between a husband and wife.

“The popcorn tastes great, Nance.” says the husband.

“Thanks. Making popcorn is my superpower. I can make tasty popcorn and use every corn kernel.” says the wife.

“Yes, I guess you can.” says the husband.

“Yes, not many can do it like I can; it’s my secret weapon. I wish my superpower was being invisible, but for now, I’ll just stick with making popcorn.” laughs wife

“If I could choose a superpower, I would choose to fly. That would be cool. But I have a superpower too,” says the husband.

“You do? What is it?” asks the wife.

“Of course. I use it all the time. You’re always impressed,” says the husband.

The wife thinks for a moment.

“Do you use your superpower a lot?” asks the wife.

“I use it more when it’s warm than when it’s cool. It depends on the need,” says the husband.

“Is your superpower G or X rated?” winks the wife.

“G rated, of course,” smiles the husband.

“You recorded a video of me using my superpower the other day, remember?” the husband asks.

The wife thinks for a moment.

“Ah yes. You do have a superpower, and it’s incredible. I don’t know anyone else who can do what you do,” the wife replies.

“Thanks. I like to think my superpower helps make the world a better place,” the husband smiles.

“Catching flies without hurting them does make the world better.” the wife smiles back.
