Flying and Time Travel

The boys often ask me " Mom, if you could have any super power what would you choose?"I usually answer quickly with "Flying." I have always wished I could fly. I thought Wendy in "Peter Pan" was so lucky to fly over London. Tinker Bell, Fairies and even Superman all seemed to have mastered the art of Flying. I admit I am still pretty jealous.I still even have dreams where I can fly. In my dreams flying is alot like swimming. I push off from the ground after getting a running start and then just move my arms and legs like I would if I was swimming. Of course my blood thirsty offspring are confused by my desire to fly. They want cool super powers like shooting lighting bolts out of their fingers and fire from their eyes.they want to blow up their brother, the too slow driver in front of us or the guy on TV. I am not sure why they want to blow that guy up but I am pretty sure it would scare me if I knew, so I don't ask.

Lately though I have come to the conclusion that time travel is at least equally as desirable as flying. Airborne is the first one to illuminate some of the great things I could do If I could time travel. These include in no  particular order, going back in time to buy winning lottery tickets, going back in time to get ready for school on time so we were not late and didn't forget his lunch (AGAIN), buying gold at $1.00 an ounce and selling at today's price, and my favorite, going back in time tho when he remembers having his ipod so he can just take it to the present instead of having to look for it. I am starting to believe that he already has a super power..laziness. Really who would waste a time machine on finding their stuff? I would be going back in time to find out who REALLY killed Kennedy, what REALLY happened to the "weather balloon" at Roswell, and probably going back to buy gold at a $1.00 an ounce. Well he had at least one good idea. Now if I could just get him to do his homework in this timeline...
