My ex-wife could often 'know' what I was thinking before I even thought it.

"I know what you're thinking but I have a better idea, YOU go take a nap!"

[Philistone]

Then how come mine never understood that I simply wanted to know: WHAT? ARE YOU HUNGRY? THIRSTY? NEED YOUR DIAPER CHANGED? JUST TELL ME! I’LL DO IT! JUST STOP CRYING!

[Red Badger]

Mother’s have this ability............How else do you explain how they know what you’re doing at all times as a kid?.....

[flashbunny]

I think I’m going to find a newborn and take it to a poker tournament. I’ll be rich!

“Mind Reading”

The weather was very hot, so this man wanted desperately take a dip in the nearby lake. He didn’t bring his swimming outfit, but since he was all alone, he didn’t care. He undressed and got into the water.

After some delightful minutes of cool swimming, a pair of old ladies walked onto the shore in his direction. He panicked, got out of the water and grabbed a bucket which laid on the sandy beach. He held the bucket in front of his private parts and sighed with relief.

The ladies got nearby and looked at him. He felt awkward and wanted to move. Then one of the ladies said, “You know, I have a special gift, I can read minds.”

“Impossible,” said the embarrassed man, “You really know what I think?”

“Yes,” the lady replied, “I know that you think that the bucket you’re holding has a bottom in it.”

I swear our daughter can do this -

when she started talking, she would say words that I had just read on signs. So - she can either read, or read my mind...

kinda freaked my wife out when she started doing it with her.

It’s the little boys who can wish you “into the cornfield” for thinking bad thoughts that you really need to worry about.

Really? Then why are Dims so bad at predicting the future?

[IronKros]

Did you and your wife ever participate in any college potent medical experiments?
Does George C. Scott run around in an eye patch?
Does your daughter start fires when she concentrates really hard?

[COBOL2Java]

Not only that, but they're getting smarter by the second!

infants tended to look at the animation longer, suggesting puzzlement about the caterpillar's actions.

Or...the infants tended to look at it longer...for some entirely different reason.

One of the unique characteristics of humans that distinguish us from the animal kingdom is the ability to represent others' beliefs in our own minds.

Ha! I'm convinced my dogs can read my mind.

[Old Professer]

Usually the first time you discover that you, too have this ability is right after you’ve screwed up and your mother gives you “that look!”

Your a bad man, a very bad man.
