My Motherly Super Powers

We all know as mothers we are blessed with a few super powers. A Mothers Love (yes, it is a super power to love something way above and beyond yourself), multi tasking, the "Mom voice" etc, etc. Today I'm mainly talking about a certain one. Its the one that allows us to know are children. I haven't named it yet. But since I discovered it, I think I should get to name it. Any suggestions? Anyways, let me explain the power a little further. Our children's wants or needs are not always visible to the non mothers of this world. They also take a while to develop. But as you grow as a mother so does your super power. They are usually partial to your own children. But sometimes if you have developed the power enough. You can recognize it in other children as well. For example we learn our babies cries. There is the hungry cry, the tired cry, and the hurt cries. Then within each of these cries we can hear an even more distinguishable cry. For instance the hurt cry.

• There is the - "That really just scared me more than anything" cry.
• Then the - "Well that kind of hurt, but I'll be over it in like 2 seconds."
• Then there's the - "Well I don't think I'll do that again cause that really hurt."
• Then the one that temporarily stops all Mothers beating hearts - Their face turns red, their not breathing. You quickly spring into action. Blow a soft breath in their face, and they quickly catch their breath before letting out the loudest cry they can muster up.

Did you know I can actually distinguish my children's footsteps? That's right. When I hear bare feet barely grazing the floor in the middle of a dead sleep. I can easily distinguish who it is. This one took a little time to develop. But now I can do it no fail every time. Here is the one you are going to get a kick out of. I can actually tell when my oldest needs to poop. No kidding, he would probably die, that I am telling you this. Not that you would ever ask him. But he can testify to my uncanny ability to know when he needs to defecate. There are no words, no actions, no facial expressions. It is definitely not recognisable to the human eye. Or probably most mothers for that matter. It is a look in his eyes. I told you it was a super power. I'm starting to realize I really do need to get a life. So what are some of your Motherly Super Powers? What did you name them? Please do share. I'm dieing to know.
