I could be facetious and say that it would the very thought that I could surprise anyone!
Very few people have been surprised by my one hidden trait. My ability to be violent. When it comes to protecting mine or myself or the weak in a bully/bullied situation, I can become quite violent. The fact that this is normally not me is why it surprises people and because it has been so, also effective. So far that is.
I am now too old and physically incapable of either taking flight or fighting and so I have not had much opportunity to surprise anyone with that trait for quite a while. So, the chances are very slim that I will surprise any of my readers.
This topic was suggested by Shackman for the weekly Friday Loose Bloggers Consortium where currently eight of us write on the same topic every Friday. I hope that you enjoyed my contribution to that effort. The seven other bloggers who write regularly are, in alphabetical order, Ashok, gaelikaa, Lin, Maxi, Padmum, Shackman and The Old Fossil. Do drop in on their blogs and see what their take is on this week’s topic. Since some of them may post late, or not at all this week, do give some allowance for that too!
I must say it’s hard to imagine you being violent! The most surprising thing about myself is probably a fit of anger. I’m usually I’m a very placid person and on the rare occasions I’ve been steaming mad, those around me have been quite gobsmacked!

And that is why it surprises people. I anger easily but also cool down quickly.
