Exasperated

“Don’t do that,” he groaned.

“What?”

“Don’t take off your glasses and pinch the bridge of your nose. We both know you’re only pretending to look exasperated.”

“It’s the glasses wearer’s only superpower: it protects us from being robbed blind,” I grinned. “How much this time?”

“£20 would do, I guess.”

I held up two notes.

“Here’s double if you can spell that fancy ‘exasperated’ word you used earlier.”

The money was snatched; my cheek kissed; the front door slammed, before I registered the answer:

“I’ll text it to you. Love you Dad!”

Superpower? Ha! That kid was pure kryptonite.
