Weird skills?

[PeppyGPhiB]

I've got some weird traits and then I've got skills, but I can't think of any weird skills.

My hands are really small - like little kids hands.

In middle school, I was the only kid in my science class that couldn't roll their tongue. Apparently I got that recessive trait.

I studied ballet for 12 years and can still remember many of my dance routines, including all of the choreography from Swan Lake in which I was part of the swan corps. When I go to see that ballet, I have a tendency to "mark" the choreography with my hands as dancers do.

ETA: Oh, I'm also apparently a natural at shooting all kinds of firearms, though because of my small hands I have a hard time loading clips. Ha.

Oh, I drive my kids crazy with that one..."no, no, don't mention the Waltz of the Flowers or Mom will start doing it!" Now my oldest does it too and her husband runs out of the room.

I also have the embarrassing gift of being able to remember my former students' names from Spanish class for decades (not their real ones, their Spanish ones) . I'll see some middle-aged former student with her kids and yell something like, "Margarita Bailey!" and Margarita, whose name is really Natalie, will be explaining to her kids really fast why this woman called her that.
