Stupid Human Tricks

Tonight's dinner conversation

Me: "So can you flare your nostrils? Show me."

Mr D: "Yes, but can you?"

Me: "But of course. And I don't think you can roll up your tongue."

Mr. D: "What makes you think that. I can, and I will."

Me: "Oh but you can't roll your 'R''s. Rrrrruffles have rrrrridges."

Mr. D: "Okay fine. But you can't alternate blinking."

...This then led into a side conversation about whether a wink is still a blink. I thought he should have said alternate winking. You can't alternate blinking because you use both eyes. But then, like a square is still a rectangle, he feels that wink is still a blink.

Back to the previous conversation. We then covered ear wiggling and lip curling.

Now, mind you, Grace doesn't talk yet, so this was strictly an adults-only conversation. But even though she couldn't participate in the fun, she did initiate the whole conversation by flaring her nostrils while she was eating. Yes, there is reason behind our insanity.

How fun! My father in love can wiggle his ears, and unfortunately, it is not a talent that has been passed down to his grand-babies! He has tried with all 4 of my kids as well as our niece to get them to wiggle their ears, but they can't :(

So glad you enjoyed the macaroni and cheese! We really do like it :) And it freezes really well too!

Blessings,
Lori

These conversations are important in a marriage. Right now we are debating if the husband makes authentic moose calls or not.

Your baby is sweet. :)
