Moving stuff around with your mind. Hmm.
Seeing that brought back an old memory. When he was in the second grade, Calvin had a friend named Walter who lived down the street from him, who had a power alot like that. It was the weirdest thing, he remembered, Walter's older sister - Karen? Or Kaley or something? - Walter could say to her, something like 'get me a soda and some chips or mom and dad', and darn if she wouldn't magically get up and do his bidding! Every time! Of course, she never did bring him their mom and dad, but it was so cool anyway!
Actually... he realized just then, That's more like the power I have! I wonder if I absorbed Walter's power!? Maybe that's where I got it from! Or maybe we both lived under the same high voltage electrical field! Or on top of some ancient Indian burial mound and they cursed us with these powers! Or maybe we were visited by aliens!
Calvin's imagination took flight. He was no longer hearing the proceedings going on around him. He had always wondered where his power had come from, since neither his mother nor his father had any powers of their own. Maybe it really was alien visitation. Maybe we were probed and modified!...
