Me, too. What kind of super-power is that, especially if I already have it? Feh.
It made me remember an incident from when I was about 12. I had a "toy" that was a reusable mosaic kit. It had some beautiful periwinkle pieces in it. My best friend saw me using it and commented and I told her how much I loved the periwinkle pieces. She was adamant that they were not periwinkle. Later, either that day or very soon after, my mom brought us to the Ben Franklin. Diane marched over an picked up a box of Crayolas and pulled out the crayon that *exactly* matched my tiled. She announced that I would now see that they were.....periwinkle -- the exact color of the crayon. Man, oh man, was she mad. And I remember it, 25+ years later.
