whose children do really gifted things like:

Turning invisible in a large department store when you turn your back for a split second.

Or who can apparently go for days without food or sustenance and still have the power of a duracell bunny?

Or can bend their bodies in order to escape any constraints?

Thanks

or children who can make like the cat in Shrek and go all googly eyed and cute when they want something and morph into Animal off the Muppets when they don't get it?

Or those who emit a sticky substance (looks a bit like tomato sauce mixed with fruit juice) enabling them to cling to anything, or, indeed anything to cling to them?

All of my children have the power to psychically destroy the washing machine, and then make themselves ill. Everytime.

They know when they are being looked at when they are asleep, and however silent you are, your very presence sets off their internal alarm system!!!

Waiting until you are making an important phone call (not just a chat with a mate) to decide that actually they both want the red car/dinosaur/spot on the sofa and start trying to kill each other.

Always needing the toilet at precisely the same moment (never happened when there were 2 toilets in the house...)

...and oh look, first one on the loo can then poo on demand, taking his time while his brother skips and dances around trying to hold his in!

Or throw together outfits so unusual, quirky and yet strangely stylish and wear them with such 'attitude' that Kate Moss is green with envy.

DS can run around on all fours at amazing speed all day. He's being a dog. And he can also bark quite convincingly. He cocked his leg on a display once when my parents took him a garden centre once.

Does that count?
