J: Do you know what happens if you walk through this door?
K: What happens?

K: Through that door?
J: Yes. In… ten seconds!
K: ohmigosh!
J: TEN! NINE! EIGHT! SEVEN! SIX! FIVE! FOUR! THREE! TWO! ONE! (sound effects as he leaps through the door into the hallway, landing on hands and knees)
J: Now you try it!
K: Okay! (Walks through door, arms spread to embrace awesome power)
J: (disgusted) Noo. Like this: (sound effects as he leaps through the door into the hallway, landing on hands and knees)
K: (sound effects as she leaps through the door into the hallway, landing on hands and knees) AWESOME POWER!
J: (jumping up and down, clapping hands)
K: Thank you for the awesome power!
J: You are welcome. You are welcome for the awesome power.

Your newfound awesome power will help you while you're dismantling your fight-or-flight mechanisms! The timing is eerily fortuitous.
Hee! Let's hope.
He says, by the way, that he's found twenty other doors in our house which contain ten-second awesome powers. I tried counting and could only come up with nineteen, even including all the closets. I'd love to find out what kind of awesome power results when you jump through the mysterious twentieth door.
