I never managed to find a perfume I liked enough to buy - they all smell funny.
I suppose I'll just have to roll myself in herbs, if I ever want good 'perfume!'
>>Right up until they want to know if the milk is spoiled.<<
Currently watching Stranger Things, and one of the things I like is that the mundane humans have a functional relationship with their superpowered friend. They protect her from enemies, reassure her when she has a meltdown, teach her how to interact with people, and consistantly charge into fights against Lovcraftian horrors so she doesn't have to fight them alone.
And the few times they fight about her powers it isn't "you're abnormal," it's about what she does with them "I'm worried and don't think this is safe," "Don't spy on us," "You were lying?"
So, yeah, that's how you deal with gifts, I think. Accept the whole person, not just the giftedness, and try to help them with the task instead of dumping everything on them and demanding results.
