What's Your Superpower?

One of the job applications I filled out on my job hunt included the following prompt: 'What is your superpower?' My response: My Superpower? My hair. My hair is so curly, it needs no gel to stand up when cut into a mohawk. Small birds have used clippings from my haircuts to line the nests of their young. My mini-fro can store and retain no less than four writing implements through the length of the day, five if you're lucky. I can wear hats while hanging upside down. When shaved, it regrows to full strength within four weeks. Finally, in defiance of my genetics, my bald father, and my bald maternal and paternal grandfathers, it remains on my head.

    Oh man, your hair sounds just like my brother's hair (whose name is, coincidentally, also Sam--are you my brother?).
