"What is that really high-pitched sound that you can hear in this school sometimes?" a student asked me today.
"I don't know," I answered. "I can't hear it." I shrugged. "I guess I have old ears."
"No," he reassured me, "there are kids who can't hear it either. I guess I just have rrrreeeaaallly good hearing."
"That could be your superpower," I teased him.
"Exactly!" he said, seriously. "I would be called Dog Ears, because I can hear things most people don't, and my sense of smell is incredible!"
I laughed and nodded.
Lucy would approve.
Life Lesson: Heros are ordinary people who make themselves extraordinary.
