Selective hearing
As my wife can attest, I am a very heavy sleeper.
Ever since having children however I seem to have developed some sort of Super Hearing with the ability to detect the slightest noise or sound coming from the boy’s room at the other end of the house. This seems to be the limit of my new found ability however.
Many is the time I have slept through the wildest of thunder storms, rain slamming against the windows and the SES all over the neighbourhood saving rooves yet I did not wake. One of the boys coughing or whimpering at all during that same storm however would have roused me from my sleep to check on them or await their arrival by the side of my bed.
I would assume this power is not unique to me though. I doubt that I acquired it from standing too close to the microwave waiting for my Hot Chocolate to be hot.
Has anyone else obtained anything like this after becoming a parent?
