Bodily oddities. What are yours? I have two eyebrow hairs that are at least half an inch long. They look like antennae.

Seriously, I have one in each eyebrow. I have to clip them or rip them out entirely, or they grow so long they sort of bow outwards and you can see them when you look at me sideways.

And then there's the single, translucent eyebrow hair that grows beside my left eyebrow. It's not white, it's whitish-clear. And it looks like nylon thread. Extremely bizarre.

Also, I have a single dark brown freckle on the tip of my left big toe. Highly visible in sandals (if anyone wants to bother looking at my toes, that is.) I've often been tempted to tattoo another one beside it, and a smiley mouth beneath.

Anyone else want to share bodily oddities?

Sounds like it

But you're in good company, I had buck teeth, coke-bottle glasses, and a huge cowlick in my hairline. A child only a mother could love...

I have very soft cartilage in my nose, so I can bend my nose right over to touch my cheek without it breaking.

I have a little cartilage bump at the top of where my ear joins my head, this means that sunglasses are always at a slight, but noticable, slant across my face.

I had to have 11 baby teeth removed because they refused to fall out and the adult teeth started growing horizontally outwards from my gums, into my cheek. I then had to have 4 molars removed because there just isn't enough room in my mouth for all my adult teeth.

Bran, my nose does that too, sometimes the dcs (and dh) will squish it for ages, laughing the whole while.....

Mavis and wuglet - I have the same eyes as you both too!

I have weird eyelashes and eyebrows, they grow in dark then when they get to the right length, about 2-3 mm at the root is blond (makes my eyebrows look as if they stand out from my head like a cartoon character!)

Hence, I always wear mascara and eyebrow pencil!

My toes click when I walk, and have done since I was a child. It tends to freak people out a bit, especially when I try to play tunes with them.
DH and DS both have third nipples, and DS has a brown stripe in his otherwise green pupil of one eye.

I have a scar like line across the bottom of my ankles that looks like I have had my feet removed and stitched back on - Even though this has never happened

Jacksmama · 28/01/2010 23:02

Are you sure?

DH can click his ears.

I have very small ears and two wierd birthmarks - one on my arm looks like a duck and one on my calf looks like a victorian lady wearing a bustle (sp?).

TidyBush · 28/01/2010 23:15

wierd weird

MayorNaze · 29/01/2010 12:43

i have the smallest adult teeth that my orthodontist had ever fitted braces on [proud]

cyteen · 29/01/2010 12:58

I have a fifth wisdom tooth. The dentist took one out as it was growing funny, and another one grew in its place.

Also get the random overnight-appearing white nylon hair...but on my chin

I have strange fang teeth which 6 years of orthodontics corrected, but have come back with a vengeance since my wisdom teeth came through (waste of time, grumble grumble)

I also bruise and scar incredibly easily

Emilywomble · 29/01/2010 13:19

I can wiggle my ears too and an so happy not to be the only one.

elk4baby · 29/01/2010 18:13

my ears are different, one is a bit larger than the other and a different shape. my dad's are the same, only a mirror image . weird how such oddities are hereditary.

also, the skin on the soles of my feet is like the skin on my palms - quite thin and sensitive, not rough at all (not even after walking barefoot a lot). my feet are generally overly sensitive, makes wearing shoes and sandals a challenge because most rub me the wrong way that I get a blister after 5 minutes ... and my feet have been like this for as long as I remember... I would love to wear all the pretty strappy sandals

AlisonOrdnung · 30/01/2010 19:54

My ears don't curl over at the top. They look like satellite dishes. DH laughs at my 'big flappy ears'. But then I laugh at his beak like nose.

Drmelons · 04/02/2010 19:27

See name!!! I have huge melons- 32H!! I kid you not!

I also only work part time- I need the rest of my week to pluck my facial hair!

lilysmummy2007 · 03/04/2010 04:55

i have a patch of hair inherited from my dad and grandad at the base of my spine , also a gorgeous Cindy Crawford type mole/ beauty spot just above my top lip. I love it, people actually tattoo these on, mine is inherited from my nan and my 2 aunties also have the spot.

Emmielu · 25/01/2012 07:10

I have a mole on the inside of my left boob that looks like a raisin up close. & me & DD have the same mole in the same place on the same arm. Everything else of her is her dad!

frownieface · 27/01/2012 19:01

I have a 3rd nipple!

FriskyMare · 27/01/2012 19:13

My second toes are twisted (makes appling nail varnish v. difficult), also have practically no nails on little toes. I actually quite like my feet, DH on the other hand hates them, but he has that weirdy big second toe thing :o

travellingwilbury · 27/01/2012 19:16

I only realised very recently I am a bit oddly formed , my fingers bend back so they are a right angles to my hands (make any sense at all ?)

I thought this was normal but apparently not , my dad noticed and of course didn't take the piss out of his freakish daughter at all Grin

CaroleService · 27/01/2012 19:18

Shock at Moonshine! You are me!

DeeDee1977 · 04/02/2012 13:43

I have something called geographic tongue, my mum had it too. I'm painfully embarrassed of it. I have white patches and quite deep fissures all over, and down the sides of, my tongue. It sometimes stings with particular foods, eg baked beans. I have to explain it every time I see a new dentist as they're always shocked, the last one thought the fissures were caused by me biting my own tongue?! I was so happy to discover my DD has a beautiful smooth, 'normal' tongue.
