What super power do you wish you had and why?

Super powers are a little scary to me based on movies I’ve seen, although being able to read minds would be pretty amazing. I think I’d rather have a super skill instead — being fully fluent in every language. Could you imagine being able to communicate with anyone? (This includes toddler, baby Latin, and dog barks as well.)

I’d use it to be helpful — seeing someone struggle to communicate and being able to jump right in and translate. Going to any country and knowing the language so I wouldn’t need a translator, or knowing if someone is saying something mean so I could throw a punchline back in their language they didn’t know I spoke.

Jokes on you, A-Hole. I don’t like your stupid hat either.

Then we’d probably both laugh, they’d be excited I knew their language, and we’d end up having a good time and wine-d down together.
