Out of the Mouths of Babes…
My daughter has had some sort of wicked crud all week and has been home with me for three days. Yesterday she walks into the living room, where I am working on the laptop and very matter-of-factly says, “I think I’m going to name my tongue. It’s like having a whole other person in there.”
Then she starts doing all these weird little tricks. Rolling, making waves, turning it over sideways, curling it up into some sort of flower. Honestly, it’s amazing. Apparently they’ve been talking about inherited traits at school–something to do with the tongue–and so she’s just started seeing what all she can do. Have I mentioned she’s an A student? (One that can’t spell, but still.) Should I be concerned that she’s going to join the circus and perform tongue tricks?
Have a great weekend, everyone!

Given how much you say she talks, maybe there is a whole other person in there.
Hey, if she joins the circus as The Amazing Tongue Lady think of all the tuition you’ll save at Alabama…or was that Auburn? *ducking*

Tongue tricks are funny. My kids used to do them. As long as she’d not piercing it, Rhonda, be thankful.

I’d be more concerned about the number of boys who’ll be flocking to her side once they find out she can do that…
Can she tie a cherry stem into a knot with her tongue?

She’d fall over if she heard you say that, Jen! Roll Tide!
Kathy, I don’t think she’d ever do that. Pretty conservative, my little cherub.
Kimberly…disconcertingly, yes, she can.

Has she tried doing Gene Simmons (KISS) tongue techniques?
Sorry, couldn’t help asking.

Should make her quite popular some day. Not now, but someday.

Wow! Not being one capable of tongue-gymnastics, I have to admit I’m impressed
I’m sure she’s learned too much from her mom to be swayed by the promise of fame and fortune in the tongue circus!
