    I can't click my fingers properly! No idea why, I've never been able to. I have the right motions, but it doesn't make any sound.

    Can you roll your tongue? My aunt can't roll her tongue like her kids can (It's genetic and at least one parent has to be able to do it) but she can whistle and no one else can. Her theory is you can only do one or the other haha.

    I can do both.

    How weird is it that my husband and I are both "rollers", but NONE of our five children can roll their tongues? (My oldest daughter can, but she has a different father.)

    I can't sew or knit worth a flip. I am also mathematically challenged.

    I can't wink.


    Hate it. I'd be a winking *kitten* if I could figure it out.

    I can't either. It's a real problem cause I'm in the military and instead of closing one eye to focus to shoot my weapon, I have to lift my head up slightly to look at whatever I'm shooting at with both eyes. >___< That extra second has cost me many a target on a range.

    Less importantly, it makes it hard for me to focus my camera on the fly.

    My lack of flexibility drives me nuts. I suppose that is fortunately something I can work on, but I just don't see myself being one of those people who can put her foot behind her head, nonetheless touch her toes...

    I can't cook properly on an electric range. I've tried so many times, so many different types of electric stoves and I burn everything no matter what. Drives me nuts.

    Two things...I can't control other peoples actions with my mind and I can't see through clothing...Not being able to do either of these can be very frustrating at times!

    I can't raise just one eyebrow. I want to be able to stare at stupid people with one eyebrow up, but I just wind up looking like I'm having a stroke.....

    Me neither, all my kids could click their fingers before they were 5 so why is my clicking mute??

    I was going to Quote you with a big-- WHAT?

    Then I thought better about it, and figured I should read your profile first, before making a lame attempt at a joke.

    Oh.. I have yet to figure out what my cat is thinking...

    I can't sing.

    I can't even sing in the shower or car because I can't stand to hear myself. I've had to lip sync in church and when the kids were little, I'd threaten them if they were misbehaving, by saying if they didn't stop, I'd sing. They would actually cry. LOL

    I would seriously love to just belt out a song and have it even halfway tolerable!

    I can only wink with my left eye, and I can't raise my eyebrows individually.

    I can't roll my Rs.

    I've always wanted to speak Italian. Even went to Italy.
    Worst part is, I'm half Italian. Clearly the German half has destroyed all the best parts of me.

    I cannot whistle. It drives me crazy that I can not whistle. I just make this sad little sound like somebody stepped on a small dogs foot.

    Seriously, I can't whistle either, but that one doesn't bother me a whole lot. The one that makes me nuts is that I can't snap my fingers.

    I can't do this either! And my married last name is Spanish too! So I say it in the bastardized American way. Haha
