![]() "And I know you all have the power to help the world. You know even more than Mom, and you're just sitting there agreeing!" "And you, Liam! I know you're probably the most powerful omniscient person to ever live, don't think I haven't noticed. "You know everything that's ever happened and will happened! Why aren't you trying to convince Dad or Alex to do something?" I winced as she turned the blame on me and Dad. "You all got this power to change the world for the better, and you all instead decide to do nothing with it." She turned to Mom. "You're all jerks, that's what." Kate snapped, her frizzy brown hair covering her face with the ferocity she turned her head to glare at me. My mom nodded hesitantly, and Olivia didn't seem to have any input, because she was busy sticking carrots up her nose. Everyone needs to grow and stop depending on us." "Sylvia, I understand you want to help but they need to grow. There's so much pain in the world, and so much we could still do for it." My mom said. Kate glared at me, though I didn't know why. All those mass murders you stopped? Bringing all those criminals to justice? I think you're good as it is, and we should stop messing with the affairs of everyone else. Olivia popped back into her high chair, and took a sip of orange juice, some of it dribbling down her cheek onto her shirt. "Should we make another statement?" My dad wondered aloud, rubbing his temples. Not to mention poverty and slavery is still an issue." She said, and Kate winced. ![]() "There's been another mass murder, and climate change is becoming more and more of a concern. "Why's that?" My dad asked, though he full well knew why. Kate looked like she was furiously trying to make sense of every person involved at once. "There's been another petition to get us back into heroism." We all knew she never watched the news, because she knew everything they reported, but she liked to talk about it like she had. "Did you hear the news today?" My mom asked. We knew she needed a new chair, maybe an actual one, but she was attached to it and didn't want a new one yet. Olivia grumped, but obliged, suddenly popping into the high chair that was getting too small for her. "Now now, you need your nutrition just like everyone else here. My dad gently removed Olivia from his beard. They've told the story about a hundred times. In their prime time, they were almost godlike, but then they met each other, and it was love at first sight, and blah blah blah. My dad has omnipotence and omnipresence, and my mom has omnibenevolence and omniscience. My mom and dad were crazy to have kids together. She sat in her chair, stuffing the slop into her mouth. She's 9, though sometimes it can seem like she's 100, while other times she seems like a baby. ![]() She can practically read your mind like a book when it comes to emotions, even though that was supposed to be Liam's job. Omnibenevolent, empathetic to a fault and trusting of everyone and everything. She could appear anywhere, and probably saw a lot of things which you shouldn't at her age.Īnd then there was Kate. Olivia was super hyper and got omnipresence, which was a real problem when she was only 5. My dad, who I got my omnipotence from, sat there with a twitching eye as little Olivia tugged at his beard. He ignored our younger sisters as he stirred the peas and slop on his plate. He had that worried and stressed expression on his face again, which he always seemed to wear when we all ate together. Liam sat across from me staring down at his plate, not touching anything. My mom and dad sat on either ends of the table with their ever-exhausted expressions. I contemplated this as I sat at the table, watching my brother and sisters do their thing. Sometimes it gets really, really annoying having siblings.
