    Do you have any?

    I have really long toes, and as such, can pick things up with them.

    Before I started running, I could put my leg behind my head (even at age 38). I can't do it now, though, my hamstrings are too tight from all the miles.

    I can't think of any others, although I am pretty strange, so I'm sure there are some. :giggle

    I have abnormally short toes and I can pick things up with them. Just not big things. :giggle

    Not sure I have any strange talents. Um, I can tie a knot in a cherry stem with my mouth....

    I can de-bone chicken breasts in about twenty seconds, does that count? Otherwise I can't think of many strange talents.

    My husband can pack a car/trunk like a champion. That's far more useful. Mostly because I'm lazy and just buy boneless, skinless chicken anyway.

    Hmmm.... I can make my tongue curl into two loops, versus one loop.

    I am ambidextrous - but can also write upside down and in cursive with both hands. My right hand is way better than my left. Apparently, when I was a kid, one of my preschool teachers made me write right handed instead of the left hand I was favoring. (My mom is a lefty.)

    I think that is it.



    Vicky... I'm good at tripping on nothing - kinda similar! lol!

    I can sit on the couch for an abnormally long time -- does that count as a talent?

    I'm not sure if it is a talent or not but I have LOADS of random song lyrics floating around in my head and I can usually sing a line from my metal stash for most situations that warrant it anyway and some that really DON'T as I have been told by my family any number of times :giggle

    I thought everyone could do this. :blush I usually think that everyone is mostly the same, but have learned as I get older that not everyone is. :) Like I can see both the forest and the individual trees (metaphorically), but learned that a large percentage of people can only see one or the other.

    I can read fast. Not like super human, but I can knock out a long book in a couple of hours.

    I can annoy my husband without even trying. :giggle

    Sometimes I can get little psychic vibes from my family which are kind of spooky... but totally unpredictable so I can't make money from it or solve crimes. :giggle

    I guess I'm pretty ordinary. LOL.

    Like Kimberlee, I'm a VERY fast reader.

    I'm also a master at tripping over nothing. I've broken one of my little toes over 10 times. I can look at it after I've hit it on something and tell if it's broken AGAIN or not. Trust me, that's a "talent" I wish I didn't have.

    The six year old & I can touch our tongues to our noses.

    I also have a vast knowledge of useless trivia. I'm that person that people call when they can't remember an actor's name or name of a song. I can remember things clearly from 20 years ago, but not necessarily 20 minutes ago.
