Superpower lost

Sarah is doing schoolwork at the kitchen table while I'm washing dishes.  She's notorious for jacking around when she's supposed to be working, so I warned her that I would be watching her. 
S: You don't have eyes in the back of your head, Mom.
M: Oh yes, I do!
S: I can't see them....
M: Ah, but THEY can see YOU!
S: How?
M: They're hidden under my hair, so you can't see them, but they are super-eyes, so they can see you.
S: You don't have eyes in the back of your head.  We ALL know that.
I glance at Noah, who is loitering around, smirking.  He nods.  Bummer!  When did they stop believing that?
