The motivation of a stray sheep

I was riding the public transit and saw a job opening for retail sales and i went and applied for it got the interview thought I had aced it and i get one final question if I were to pick one superpower what would it be ? I said healing and the interviewer went ballistic so I wait until she calmed down and asked her why she was that why she told me her mother just died if brain cancer. Crazy !!! Right ?
