Random question but can you squish your nose so it touches your top lip ??

Ds has just realised dd and his dad (( who's now ran off to the dining room for some peace )) can, this has provided far more amusement than I'm willing to admit 🙄

Ds and I have 'normal' noses. Not a squish in sight, theirs is like the bone is missing from the end......we now want to know how common this is ?? Or does dd now have the ultimate party piece ??

Thank you greatly in advance.

Very easily!

Tetchypants · 02/08/2023 18:09

No, but I can squish my top lip up to my nose!

Stressyfab · 02/08/2023 18:10

No! I misread and have been sat here pushing my top lip up to my nose… but no I can’t vice Versa! It’s squishy if I poke it though?!

useitorlose · 02/08/2023 18:21

No but I can touch the tip of my nose with my tongue.

Dotcheck · 02/08/2023 18:23

Yea, and I look very beautiful whilst doing it

AbacusAvocado · 02/08/2023 18:24

Nope, nowhere near touching each other.

TwitTwont · 02/08/2023 18:25

Dreamersdontdie · 02/08/2023 18:28

I can’t and I have a big nose with a drip at the end with no bone in it!

thecartofhelena · 02/08/2023 21:05

I can, I was called flatness as a child

thecartofhelena · 02/08/2023 21:05

Typo that misses the point flatnose

NoNoNoYoureWrong · 02/08/2023 21:06

I don’t understand how that is possible.

diagram please.

AutumnNymph · 02/08/2023 21:07

Yes I can. I can also easily touch the tip of nose with my tongue like a PP.

Gabby10 · 02/08/2023 21:16

Yes I can. @NoNoNoYoureWrong it feels like there's no bone/cartilage in the tip of my nose. Has come in very hand with a toddler who loves to throw her head back though- dread to think of the amount of times I'd of had a broken nose by now 😂

Chillichic · 02/08/2023 21:31

When I was younger and very drunk I would press friends noses to see whose squished and whose didn’t. Mine isn’t a squishy nose, my ex boyfriend had a super squishy one 🤣

Haggisfish3 · 02/08/2023 21:32

Yes I can. Some people can’t?! I will have to investigate…🤣

Hoppinggreen · 02/08/2023 21:33

I can touch my nose with my tongue (attractive I know)

Saverage · 03/08/2023 08:16

Yes, easily. The question seems pretty off, that it's 'normal' not to be able to do this. I would have thought ethnicity played a large part.

LubaLuca · 03/08/2023 08:18

Tetchypants · 02/08/2023 18:09

No, but I can squish my top lip up to my nose!

Same here. My nose isn't malleable enough.

Enko · 03/08/2023 08:19

Yes I can. I can also curl my tongue.

dizzydizzydizzy · 03/08/2023 08:20

No. I have a fairly small nose.

MuchTooTired · 03/08/2023 08:21

I can squish my nose down almost to my lip, but can’t reach it fully. Not sure if that’s because my moustache bit (if I was a bloke) is too fat, or my nose is too short, but my upper lip requires a lift to reach my nose.

Weirdly, I used to be able to lick my squished nose but can’t now, which makes me curious as to why not, I didn’t realise I’d lost my facial flexibility too.

I'm really not sure why I’m so invested in this, but I am 😂

MyBrownEyedHandsomeBoy · 03/08/2023 08:27

My DSIL figured she could do this a few months back, posted it in the family group chat. It inspired her siblings (inc my DH) to try it and he also discovered he could do it too.. although they were the only ones in the group chat comprising of 14 people in total that could actually do it.. so we unanimously voted they were not part of the 'normal majority' 🤣

CatsOnTheChair · 03/08/2023 08:28

Err, yes.
Why would having a random extra bit in your nose be normal?
