Can you curl your tongue?

[Floogeldy]

You know, like in the shape of a "U?"

They say it is genetic.

I can.

[havocmom]

1. Yep. I can turn it over too

both directions.

[spacelady]

10. Hey, I can only turn over in one direction, never noticed that!

[havocmom]

11. Slacker!

Actually, I think being able to turn it in both directions is pretty odd. Only know one other person who can do it. We both have a screw loose, but the kissing is good ;)

[spacelady]

13. Maybe if I loosen some screws.........

[havocmom]

14. LOL Gottta be the right ones

or something important might fall off.

[ForrestGump]

2. Yes

I can curl other people's, too. :P See?

[DanCa]

3. Yep learned on accident by playing the harmonica.

[LeftyMom]

4. Yep.

:evilgrin:

[Deja Q]

5. No, but I can curl my toes.

Best I can do, I'm afraid...

[WCGreen]

6. Who Wants to Know...

BTW, yes I can, yes I can, yes I can...

[Left Is Write]

7. No. But my husband and our daughter can.

Our son takes after me - he can't.

[spacelady]

8. Yes, but I wonder who noticed it first & if they lorded it over the

"no, I can't's".

[FuzzySlippers]

9. Yup.

I can fold it over, too.:bounce:

[Omphaloskepsis]

12. At first I couldn't...

Long story short:

-Parents name their second child Ryan.
-At the age of four Ryan(me) has a tumor removed from his larynx.
-A few weeks later I start speaking.
-I was unable to pronounce the "r" sound properly.
-Parents regret naming me Ryan.
-After a few years of speech therapy I could properly pronounce my name.


One of the exercises I had to do was practice making a bowl shape with my tongue. It was a real pain in the ass to learn how to do.

[sakabatou]

15. Yes

But can you turn it into a "w"?

[RevCheesehead]

16. Around what?

:evilgrin:

[Kali]

17. yes - are your earlobes attached?

another single gene trait

[tigereye]

18. nope

husband can. And....

oops, you are gonna get me in trouble here. :evilgrin:

[NMMNG]

19. Yep

[Starlight]

20. yes

[In_The_Wind]

21. No, but ...

I can tie a cherry stem in a knot without using my hands.

[AlienGirl]

22. Not anymore

I lost about a third of my tongue and there's too much scar tissue to curl it effectively. I used to be able to do it, though.

23. It depends on what I'm doing with it, and where I'm using it......
