Poll question: Can you wiggle your ears? |
|
Seriously.
I can. I know some people who can and some who cannot. I would appreciate your candid, truthful votes for research purposes although your snarky, disrespectful, and insultingly inaccurate comments are, as always, solicited and appreciated.

6. Ooh, I can do that too |
|
Makes me feel special. Of course I only personally know one other person who can't do it, but what are you gonna do.
I've always heard that to be able to do the tongue roll both parents had to be able to do it too. That may just be one of those oft repeated 'facts' that aren't really true, but I've never investigated it so I don't know.

My husband and son can, but I can't for the life of me. I try, but I just end up looking like I'm having some sort of "episode".

my father was a world class ear wriggler. He could wriggle one at a time, and he could wriggle them without moving his eyebrows up and down.

Roll my tongue; Raise both eyebrows, one at a time; Flex my nostrils; Turn up each side of my upper lip.
Total. Facial. Control.

All of the above. I can wiggle one ear at a time. And I can do this other thing with my nose that I've only shown 2 people, cuz it looks so freaking freaky. But I can sort of move my whole nose down in this wierd way, and my upper lip goes down a little too, it's hard to explain. But it still freaks out my best friend after 15 years when I surprise her with it.

19. I can wiggle only my left ear, |
|
but I can roll my tongue and cross one eye at a time. These are extremely useful skills that have enhanced my life tremendously.

27. I can wiggle my ears, roll my tongue, flip my tongue over, |
|
raise each eyebrow individually, flare my nostrils, and cross each eye individually. Much to my chagrin, however, I cannot do the Elvis sneer. I feel so cheated.
