Turn one of your 'flaws' in a weird superhero power: for example

My flaw is I talk too much - pretty sure my superpower would be the ability to talk people's ears off and render them deaf and slightly crazy.

My husband's snoring could drive people to murder (I know it almost did to me) or he could just be Super Average Man, kind of like invisibility - his ability to just blend in anywhere

I can be....

"Broken Pinky Man"

Able to point around corners with my smallest finger.

Protector of those with small skeletal defects

Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound....er....ummm...

Able to press the button for the top floor of any high-rise in the world with a slightly less than pleasant looking digit.

I was lactose intolerant.

I assumed lactose intolerance was more akin to a deadly peanut allergy, and milk certainly didn't kill me, so I continued drinking the little cartons of milk during school lunch break. By the time school ended a few hours later, I needed to go home to relieve the extreme gas build-up in private!

I played tennis against a much older brother from the time I was a little kid. It was just a fun way for us to burn energy. The tennis coach saw me playing tennis during gym and begged me to join the team (following me around and being a pest about it for several minutes), but I refused. I was too embarrassed to tell him the real reason... I didn't want to be a fart machine among my peers during any kind of after-school activities!
