.

Can you put your feet behind your head?

Feet in mouth?

Touch the floor with flat hands?

Touch your nose with your tongue?

I wonder what else BENDY mumsnetters can do???

Or is anybody going to admit to what other bendy activities they can do???

I have no flexibility whatsoever - I keep doing a bit of yoga but I'll never be able to do this

RTKangaMummy · 15/09/2005 18:28

trefis do you mean at right angles to your body {wow}

I can have my legs in a diamond shape flat, with soles of feet together on the bed, while lying flat on bed

Touch the floor with flat hands

charliecat · 15/09/2005 18:36

I am really bendy can do all sorts of bendy things, was doing backflips at 3 and LOVED gymnastics. My 2 dds have backbones like planks and are as unbendy as you can get.
I try and get them doing cartwheels and handstands but its not going to happen.
DD1s joined the recorder club instead of gymnastics

I can put my feet in my mouth, and touch floor with very nearly flat hands.

I can also touch my nose with my tongue and if i lean on my arms, my elbows go the wrong way by about 20 degrees.

Wallace · 15/09/2005 18:38

can feet in mouth, and floor with flat hands.

I do have REALLY bendy fingers

Whizzz · 15/09/2005 18:38

trefusis - I can do the knee thing too !
Not good for your joints - bad habit picked up when small !

I can put feet up to mouth (not that I'd want to!) and can touch floor with flat hands!

edam · 15/09/2005 18:39

I used to bite my toenails... ds was biting his so I checked and can still reach on my right but not my left side. And touch the floor with flat hands. Is that bendy enough?

SenoraPostrophe · 15/09/2005 18:41

that's how I sit naturally - it's more comfy than any other way.

RTKangaMummy · 15/09/2005 18:45

You guys are deffo brill

I was reminded of this cos of FRIENDS episode on this evening

So those that can touch their nose with their tongue -- do you have a long tongue or long nose or both ????

You don't have to answer if you don't want to

SenoraPostrophe · 15/09/2005 18:45

long tongue.

I used to put my tongue UP my nose to impress people. I am great at parties, me.

RTKangaMummy · 15/09/2005 18:48

I LOVE that episode - ''I'm VERY bendy''....(but I have to have a long hot bath with Radox after..

bakedpotato · 15/09/2005 18:49

I've never ever been able to touch the floor even with outstretched fingertips (with straight legs that is) but I can do this

QueenEagle · 15/09/2005 18:51

The only one I seem to be any good at is putting my foot in my mouth - does that count? teehee

Can touch my nose with my tongue, as can eldest daughter. Can sit on floor with legs out-stretched and soles of feet nearly flat on floor. Can bend thumb to touch wrist. Baby of 16 weeks also showing signs of bendiness - shoulder almost seems to dislocate!
