Dear Readers

Sweets recently posted about party favourites. I realise that this is probably going to sound ever so slightly insane. But i've only recently discovered that something i am able to do is quite rare and very....well, weird.

The thing is i do this thing with my hand. If i make my fingers straight with the palm of my hand pointing downwards, my fingers all bend upward.....far upward. So what i decided to do, in order to set my mind at ease and find out if it is really so incredibly weird or not, is to post a picture of me straightening my fingers, and to ask your opinion.

Exhibit A:

Yes, my palm is pointing downward.

So tell me.....is this weird? Can you do it to?

Regards

Ruby

Dude, that's just plain freaky! Are you double-jointed?

Ruby said...

not really....i mean, i can sit in funny positions, and i've always been very stretchable and bendable, but i'm not really double jointed or anything.

Sweets said...

Ruby said...

Hahaha...I am sitting reading your blog and flexing my hand...hilarious!
I can sort-of do it...my fingers don't bend quite as much as yours do, but there's a definite lift!
Thanks Ruby...The Rubster just showed me I have even more weird qualities! LOL

Ruby said...

AK - he he.....yes yes yes:)

Blondie - I aim to please:)

I can do that. People have always thought it weird. Back in the corporal punishment days, i'd just bend my fingers as the cane came down and not feel a thing. You are not alone Ruby.

Yip. Tried it too. My hand is as straight as a plank. So, tell me. Which other party tricks are Arkwive referring to?

Ruby said...

Glug - straight as a plank huh? Party tricks?? what party tricks?? I can't do anything else than the finger thing......*evil grin*

I also have that particular 'talent' - my thumbs are also a bit double jointed. Comes in handy during those post-tequila need to impress moments!

P.S. Love the nails!

Amy xxoo said...

I cant do it, but my sister can. Although we can both do this strange, double-jointed type thing with our elbows....

Ruby said...

rox - Ta for the compliment:)

amy - hmmm.....maybe we should start a meme so people can show all their really odd talents???
