If I could read minds I could become a Lie Detector because if they are lying I would always know. This is also great because I could become a questioner for the police. I would point a light at them and ask the questions I would always see and always know.
I like what Rudy said because mind reading could be a high-paying job.
“I agree with you because it would be a good job to have as a lie detector.”
If I could read minds I would read someones mind to tell if they are lying to me. And I think this would probably be the best super power because in like court if someone is lying you can just read their mind.

I agree with Daniel T because people could plot against you. when someone is going to say something you could copy exactly what they said. just to jinkx them.
“I’m not sure I agree with you because they probably have private things that they don’t want you to know.”
I would read their minds to see if their lying or if they are talking about me. I would also read their minds for answers if they dont want to tell me.
I like what Kevin said because these are very reliable options.
I agree with Kevin cause I would do the same thing.
If I could read the minds of others, I would open a murder investigation to find those who killed those people, or I could also know who was lying to me, etc. I think that would do it.
If I were to be able to read minds i would be able to know what they are thinking or their secrets. If i would find out i would use it as blackmail and i would tell them to pay me for me to not tell anyone their secrets.
This reminds me of Daniel T’s comment and mine too. We all said the same thing. -__-
I like what Jolette said because it is relatable.
I agree with Jolette because I want money to.
If they are talking bad about me in their mind I’ll confront them. Or if they want me to do something and they are too shy to ask then I will do it. Also if they are to shy to ask for something similar to what I said I’ll help them.
