Useless Talents | Pad Patter 3.27.17

You mean like being the Biggest. Klutz. Ever. ???????? Of course! If there is something to kick my toe into I make sure I do it. I run my shopping cart into things at the store. Trip over my own feet. And I'm good at all of these talents.

 

i can't think of any apart from Jan's above - i'm not a contortionist or able to sustain the pat your head and rub your tummy thing for very long either...

 

This is so me! I am an expert gravity checker . I can even injure myself just getting up out of my chair!

 

Hmmm I don't think any talents are useless. But I'm also a big clumsy person. I swear I have a new bruise every day and have no idea where it came from. LOL

 

I can twist my tongue in a shell shape... and got a picture of me and my son this weekend (he can do it too), so I'll eventually scrap those pictures! They make me crack up!

I can write upside down, in cursive with my left hand (I'm a usual righty, but ambidexterous). I'm not fast or anything, but it is legible.

I make an art form of describing things since I can never remember the word I really want to use. It's like word charades, with adjectives.

My son has the ability to ALWAYS put his shirt on backwards. Even if he lays it out, it ends up backwards. He now checks for the label and twists it around. Or... I end up telling him. Seems like every day!

 

My oldest son actually went to school with a pair of JEANS on backwards once. I was in awe that he could feel that it was weird. My hubby is home with them in the mornings as I'm already at work at 6:30am, so I didn't see it until I picked him up from school. Lol! And he also used to wear his shirts backwards too. My hubby let him go to school a couple of times with collared polo shirts on backwards just so he'd get made fun of enough to have him actually check in the mornings. Sheesh! boys! Lol!

 

My sons have some unique skills. Oldest son can clap with one hand by slapping his fingers against his palms. It makes quite a loud noise. I can do it but mine is quiet. Second son can snap his fingers using his pinky. His pinky is really bent so it is easy for him to get it over to his thumb. Okay - are you trying those yet?

@jk703 - Please post your tongue picture! My daughter can curl her tongue like a wave. I am curious if you can do the same thing.

 

I can touch my nose with my tongue... does that count as useless?

 

I'm an expert list maker.

 

LOL LOL LOL YES! I was trying them!!

 

@BevG i hope this isn't way big... I'm on my phone, lol! Here we are...

 

I can hang a spoon from my nose. I have even hung a big metal ladle from my nose. I can also blow spit bubbles off my lip. My brother could blow them off his tongue.
My boys can make fart noises with their hands under their arms.
I am also gifted with a very loud voice, that can carry a long way. I have more control of it now, but as a kid, it was a curse.

 

@jk703 you have a ton of hidden talents.
i am cracking up about the boys going to school with the clothes on backwards - @Karen jeans AND polo shirts??? i can't fathom it! the "feeling" of doing that. just no! LOL. a T shirt i totally get!

i can't think of any but these are fun to read ...

 

This reminds me of something I said a lot when my kids were very little. You know how they love to throw things down, especially when seated in a high chair or something like that? I'd say, "Rhiannon's checking to make sure gravity still works." or "Yep, gravity works on that thing too!" Eventually they would experience helium balloons, of course, so then I could say, "You found something gravity doesn't work on!"

 

I can quack like a duck.

 

@jk703 OMG! Like mother, like son.

 

This is NOT useless... very useful in fact.

 

I know! I just can't believe out "space cadet" he would have to be to not noticed the collar choking him or the pants riding up funny in the rear. Weirdo! Lol!
