"Teenagers are From Outer Space and Have Super Powers"


When you think of characters with super powers, Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Captain America, etc. may come to mind., along with their costumes and specific enemy fighting abilities.  Superman could fly, run fast, and had x-ray vision to name a few.  Wonder Woman used her bracelets and belt, along with other tools to bring down “bad guys.” I am here to tell you about a specific group of individuals that also obtain super powers beyond yours and mines comprehension.  These human entities are between the ages of 13-19, usually wear clothing that range from cool to totally insane and are social media experts.  The name that these beings go by is TEENAGERS! Teenagers are from another planet and have super powers that little kids and adults do not possess.

Seriously!  Now you are probably asking, “Well Angela, what are these super powers you speak of?”  I will tell you, thanks for asking.  One power is called the ability to lie through their teeth without breaking a sweat.  Think about it.  Ask your teen who ate the last piece of cake and observe their response.  Or, inquire as to whether they completed their homework and wait to be amazed at the lying superpower that will spew out of their mouths.  This ability can manifest itself in a verbal response, physical movement/gesture or grunt, but unbeknownst to them, we adults can see through their smoke and mirror performance.

The second super power is found on the bottom of their feet.  They can literally spot an object on the floor, and rather than pick it up, walk directly on top of it without any pain or discomfort.  Their aptitude to tread on top of any material or substance, hard or soft, that could potentially cripple us mere mortals, never ceases to amaze me.  Just observe a teen in their natural habitat, their bedroom.  Stand at the doorway quietly and peer into the room.  Do not walk in for fear of stepping onto something that could potentially permanently damage your mortal feet.  Take close and careful notes when witnessing them walk from point A to point B in search of an item all while trampling over pens, pencils, paper, shoes, books, candy bar wrappings, balls, etc.  As they tread, not one time will they flinch or bend down to remove the item.  Amazing!

The third super power these weird creatures possess is their aptitude to text at speeds quicker than light travels. If the International Olympic Committee is in search of a new, competitive sport, teenage texting would be a must-see event.   Now I know what you are thinking.  You are wondering if these aliens will ever morph into mortals. The answer is, YES, probably around the age of 20.  Just like in any group, there are a few anomalies that defy the odds and throw a monkey wrench into the most profound and in-depth scientific and experimental hypothesis.  Thankfully, I have run across a few of these teen relics.   You must search far and wide for them, but if you are fortunate, and the stars, moon and planets all align, you will spot a “normal,” “non-alien” teen one day.
