I have a similar talent – I can start with both eyes looking to the left, and slowly move just my left eye toward my nose (so that I’m cross-eyed) while keeping my right eye stable, and then slowly move my right eye to the right while keeping my left eye stable.
Okay. I’m convinced. You must be me. I do the same thing!I have a similar talent – I can start with both eyes looking to the left, and slowly move just my left eye toward my nose (so that I’m cross-eyed) while keeping my right eye stable, and then slowly move my right eye to the right while keeping my left eye stable.
Gives people the creeps.
Well, he does put all the forks together, but the salad forks and dinner forks are all jumbled up and it makes me crazy!!! The soup spoons and tea spoons are all mixed together in their spoon slot, not nested together by size, and it makes me crazy!!!Ummmm…doesn’t everyone do that? Isn’t that why they make the silverware trays divided into sizes and types?What does your hubby want, a drawer full of silverware just sitting there all backwards and upside down and in total chaos? Think of how many minutes over the course of a year you’d have wasted trying to find the right utensil everytime you ate!
My mom informed me that when they adopted me I had brown hair, a few months later (still under a year) it turned carrot red and then a few months after that it turned bleached blonde. It’s been getting darker since puberty.
My husband was born with very light blonde hair, it started getting darker when he was 3 or 4. Now it’s black (and a little grey
). I have very dark brown hair. I make sure I tell everyone this when I’m pregnant that he was blonde as a little kid. Just incase I have a blonde baby.
I was born with dark blue eyes, and they brightened up quite a bit by my first birthday. When I was 7 years old, I noticed one morning as I was looking in the mirror before school, that my eyes had changed from blue to green.When I was born my eyes were nearly black they were such a dark brown. Then for most of my life they were a dark to medium brown. Now, at a few weeks from 44, they are nearly green!!!
lol… lol…
lol So shameful!!!that’s interesting…My mom’s eyes were yellowish brown/honey brown, now they are darker…almost a medium brown…My youngest brother had hazelish eyes and now has honey brown eyes… My nephew was born with BRIGHT DARK blue eyes and now has honey brown eyes… He was also born with bright red hair and now he’s a brunette!! lol…
Mine have done the exact same thing… when I was little my eyes were so dark that you couldn’t tell the iris from the pupil, but now they’re nearly all green with just a circle of brown left around the outside edge.When I was born my eyes were nearly black they were such a dark brown. Then for most of my life they were a dark to medium brown. Now, at a few weeks from 44, they are nearly green!!!
There are a lot of light eyed people in my family, guess those genes are starting to show up in my old age!

lol… If I talk to anyone very long, I get a sore throat.
Yeah everyone in my father’s side of the family have blondish hair and green or blue eyes, my dad was born with dark blonde hair and it changed to black…with dark brown eyes…My mom’s side most are dark but my grandma-mom’s mom is white I mean pale white, lol, with now gray hair and dark brown eyes, my grandfather-God rest him, on mom’s side- was a native indian, dark with dark hair and black eyes- so my aunts and uncles are mostly dark tanned with dark hair and dark eyes except for a few that are like my mom light skinned…But now that they are older are all tanned with dark hair except my mom has now dark honey brown eyes…When I was born my eyes were nearly black they were such a dark brown. Then for most of my life they were a dark to medium brown. Now, at a few weeks from 44, they are nearly green!!!

SO miss my reddish hair!! I can whistle reallllllyyyy loud!! That’s pretty much it…Usually leaves people a little deaf for a few seconds…lolOh, yes, me too! I can scratch the inside of my wrist with the hand it’s attached to. And it’s not just my wrists that have loose joints - I can also put my hands on my hips and touch my elbows together (kills the shoulders!), bend my thumb over the knuckle where the index finger meets the back of the hand, and bend my elbows to a very painful-looking angle (maybe about 200 degrees).
I probably would be able to scratch the inside of my wrist as well if i didn’t have such short fingers!!
In order to impress / scare my friends and family, I have also developed a few other strange ways to make people cringe. I can move each eye independently of the other - train one eye on something unmoving and look in a different direction with the other eye. Scares my students half-to-death.
My finger is double jointed and I can hold it as if it’s stuck and bend just the fingernail part of it all the way up and down, and then pop my finger by moving it up and down, lol it freaks people out!! sorry too much info I guess…
I learned how to wiggle my ears from my grandfather. He described where the muscles were that I had to develop, and I practiced in front of the mirror for ages until I could make them wiggle.
I can flare my nostrils or wiggle them like a bunny. Fun for distracting people who should be paying attention in meetings.
I crack my kids and db with the nose flaring!! LOL
Lastly, I can hum and whistle at the same time. I developed this when I wanted to demonstrate the sound of two-part harmony to someone who couldn’t remember a tune long enough to repeat it to me while I harmonized with it. Unfortunately, I can’t actually harmonize with myself - I haven’t figured out how to adjust the pitch of one without affecting the pitch of the other the same way. When I have time (maybe when I’m a mom and have my hands full with my baby but my brain is aching for a meaningless project) I’d like to spend a few weeks practicing until I can really harmonize with myself.
