I can't eat chips in the wrong order - has to be according to size. Smallest to biggest.

not being able to play the cello is one of the great sadnesses in my life Sad
I can't whistle by putting tw ofingers in my mouth

can't play the piano without pulling a ghastly tense staring face (will stick to recorder - much easier)

am sure if you can play a harpsichord you can play a cello...

I can't drive
can't swim
can't knit

But I can touch my toes and that makes me bizarrely happy! Grin

I can't remember how to get to places unless I've done the journey at least 3 times. Totally no sense of direction.

I actually navigate instinctively, because I can't read maps either. This is not good, because I sometimes think I recognise somewhere, and then realise I was thinking of somewhere in Birmingham, which is not much help when you're driving in Bristol... Blush

can't wrap presents. They always end up like a bundle of squashed paper. Now I just blame DD even if I did it.

can't remember how to make any dishes or what we eat when I try to draw up a menu plan or go shopping.

can't stand football commentary on the radio. It's OK on the TV but something about the intense pace of it hurts my brain and destroys all other thought.

LOL, wabbitintheheadlamps, I can't sew either! We had to make a dress for Home Ec in school and then we all had to take part in a fashion show modelling our dresses. The next day the skirt fell off! I was so relieved it didn't happen during the show!

Still can't tie shoelaces properly at the age of 27. DH hysterical every time I try.

Can't do left from right either. Think I was separated at birth from Wharf Rat.

Can't play hide and seek with DS. I get too nervous when I hide and can't breathe properly....

biscuitdunker · 17/04/2006 22:32

Ha ha, I can't play hide and seek either, i get really scared - on the verge of wetting myself (even tho I'm 35 Blush)

I can't walk across a camp site n the middle of the night to have a pee, just have to hunker down outside the tent instead!

also can't make rude noises with my armpit, even though my 7 year old ds can!

twokids · 17/04/2006 22:38

can't whistle
can't loose weight
can't give up choclate
can't swim
can't tell my left amd right
can't think of anything else

scarymamma · 18/04/2006 12:26

can't get any sodding trousers to fit Angry

sharklet · 18/04/2006 12:31

I can't drive

I can't be arsed to deal with all DH's complex cables and stuff around the tv and stereo some of which is all dual voltage and some of which is 110 voltage and has strange transponders and the like.

I can grow marvellously large pumpkins Grin

yeahinaminute · 18/04/2006 13:29

I'm useless at sewing
rubbish at left and right too but if I look at my hands with the thumbs stuck out one the left one makes the letter L and the right one makes a Right angle - sometimes helps!
Can't stop talking

But

I can

Wiggle my nose like Tabitha on Bewitched !!

biscuitdunkernomore · 23/04/2006 23:45

I can't drive, bottled out of taking my test twice!Blush
