I can

  • Bend my fingers back almost to the back of my hand, effortlessly
  • Raise/lower my eyebrows by a lot, even independently. I can make waving motions, as well!
  • Touch the tip of my nose or chin with my tongue
  • Wiggle my ears (though not independently)
  • Roll my eyes up so only the whites at the bottom are visible

I used to able to touch my fingers to the back of my hand in middle school, but 10 years later I can only bend them back a little less than 3/4

It was a neat party trick while it lasted, because everyone thought it hurt me to do it lol

People are often so worried I'm pushing back hard and damaging my joints. So I let them push a finger back softly, then they're shocked how easy it is, but no longer worried about my joints! 😁
