I am amazing at creating assembly lines. My motto is, "Whenever a task is designated, an assembly line gets its wings."
Ben can turn the word "Armagetron" into a catch phrase.
Morgan is the cuddle queen. There is no worry too big, no stress too great, no sadness too deep that her cuddles cannot cure.
Kelly can spice a pot of chili so perfectly that all the angels of heaven say, "Well done."
Liz can get Robert to do anything, accomplishing something everyone has failed at for 26 years.
No one does it better than Dad when it comes to giving people nicknames. If you need an example, just take a minute to ponder the "JoJabrina" days of '99.
Sarah does an incredible impersonation of Kip from Napoleon Dynamite, so incredible in fact that I think they offered her the role in Napoleon Dynamite II.
Alison is undefeated at arm wrestling. I am tempted to use the phrase freakishly strong, but I shall resist.
When Maria wears heels, she drops below a hundred pounds. I have already sent her resume to five different leg modeling companies.
Big Morgan can sleep with his eyes open. Disturbing? Maybe. Ranks high among hidden talents? Yes, definitely.
Kim can solve logic puzzles like nobody's bidniz. Her speed at solving these puzzles is approaching Guinness record speeds.
Robert has the world's best delivery with pick-up lines. Perhaps it's the touch of his charming smile.
Mom draws the best looking bicep doodles. It's true, just ask her to draw one for you.
Jon can step into a warehouse and find things to fulfill all your heart's unknown desires, he's like the human form of the Mirror of Erised (I bet he could even find you that mirror if you wanted him to).
Isabelle can pass levels on Bubble Blast that I have tried to pass for hours and failed.
Mira can make pitch perfect seal noises.
Maggie can fit into any box.
Topher can sleep through anything, including uncles throwing giant legos at him.
Jack is a guitar prodigy.
Lizzy can make it look like her eyes have no pupils. Her and Big Morgan should work out an act together.
Sophie is a comedic genius.
Grace has the ability to identify whether or not your hands are on 10 and 2 at all times while driving as well as if you are approaching a red light too fast. She has a future in the drivers' education business.
Katie can sing so that an entire congregation can hear her, without a microphone.
Baby Robert can do the splits.
And this guy can imitate the sound of every typewriter model since it came into existence.
Favorite: at 18:28 the 1979 IBM composer 82.
History of the typewriter recited by Michael Winslow from SansGil—Gil Cocker on Vimeo.
If you can listen to this for the full twenty minutes, I would consider that a hidden talent.
I love hidden talents, it's like a life long treasure map with unending treasure.
