because we just had a stare off and I lost each time because I need to laugh...

my dc can move their eye brows independently and I'm jealous!

It never occurred to me that not everyone could move their eyebrows independently! I guess I thought everyone could do it 🤣

I completely relate to your jealousy.

Mines not even 2 yet and he has inherited his father's ability to wink. I'm so jealous as no matter how much I've tried I end up looking like a constipated chipmunk when I try and close just 1 blooming eye.

winking is another thing I just can't do!

maybe it's connected to my inability to move my eyebrows independently.

one dc can move their ears which I find pretty cool, too.

I can wink and raise one eyebrow but not the other. Left side of my face is much more useful!

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 09/10/2021 22:21

My DS taught himself how to wiggle his ears

He thinks his six year old self would be chuffed to bits

I can do this. My right eyebrow is pointing,as a result of being lifted so often.

But dd can do cartwheels.

I can wink but can’t move my eyebrows independently

GTAlogic · 09/10/2021 23:01

I can do my eyebrows too.

Dc2 can bend over backwards into the crab and then flip over to stand up again. They can also do handstands, cartwheels, the splits etc. I wish I was as supple and bendy!

Me and my son can roll out tongues but DH can’t and he’s super sad about it. Waiting to see if DD can too to further annoy him

I can raise my left eyebrow independently from my right, but not the other way around. And I can wink with both eyes. I feel privileged Grin

Mybalconyiscracking · 10/10/2021 19:55

I can switch off a light and pick up towels, two things that my DDs seem incapable of.
