One lackadaisical day at home, after one of my many siblings birthday parties, there was an old helium birthday balloon kind of hovering in air. I took to laying on the couch and focusing all my "mind energy" on the balloon. At that exact moment a door shut in another room thus causing the balloon to sway a bit.
My dad told me a had something called Telekinesis, which meant I had the rare ability to move things with my mind.
Unfortunately when I told my 2nd grade teacher that I could move things with my mind she made me put my money where my mouth is.
I wasn't able to produce...
