Do you have a special 'talent'?

shysal

My GP once told me that I did something only owls can do - blink with one eye!

Just tried it I can do it too.

Knitting and stopping a gransnet thread dead!
LadyGracie That's not a special talent!
Years and years ago it was common to see ladies knitting whilst sitting by the side of the guillotine!; they go together!
Also years and years ago you told us how much you hated euphemisms for matters medical, but I think of threads as having "been laid to rest" or "passed on"
OoRoo

Opening my mouth before engaging brain my husband says. It’s always worked well for me though!?

I can provide nice squishy bits for the DGC to prod and pinch and cuddle up to.

My sons, when young, thought that I had a superpower, never mind a talent. They could be in a completely different part of our home, yet I would know instantly (and call out "you can stop that right now", or something similar) if they were suddenly up to mischief.

Of course, now they have children of their own, they know that their sudden silence was a dead giveaway, and I'm just a normal mum!

Oh, and I could always hear the sound of a biscuit tin being sneakily opened,

OMG Theoddbird,that is fantastic,your tutor was spot on.
WOW.

I cross stitch and have made some pretty neat things. I'm also the one who puts the IKEA furniture together in our house.

In addition, I have a talent for identifying very nice mogs

I could always draw and my family and school assumed I’d go to art college. I used to say, “It’s just a knack. I can draw anything but I don’t want to.”
I married someone else with arty ability and one of our children followed us and has made their career in art.

I can touch my nose with my tongue

My special talent is being a magician. I can make a packet of Jaffa Cakes disappear in about 20 minutes.

effalump ???

My Talent is knowing excellent music ect and being a Bowie fan :D . I also Draw, paint and make miniatures

huh ?

I am a rather good magician....I can make a box of Maltesers vanish almost instantly.

Oh, didn’t read the thread, sorry effalump...we are both magicians!

Singing, painting my face, writing poems and making up children’s stories on the spot. Wish I had written down all the bedtime stories I made up over the years.
The big surprise was being told by a friend after first try out at his rifle range that I was a good shot and should join a club.
Not for me, I used to have a very short wick and there would have been a few corpses around?
