hehehe! can't believe I'm going to post this... but here goes....

My son (8yo) and my DH performed this trick at Thanksgiving dinner at the in-laws... at the dinner table... w/ all their family there..

DH farted... and 8yo sniffed the air and claimed he could tell what DH ate at his last meal.

I was mortified! in-laws were not phased by it.

Apparently dh and son had this joke they'd been practicing or something or whatever. I'm still not amused!

Neat tricks for the less embarassing members of the family..

12yo son can win almost whatever he wants to out of coin machines... I say almost b/c it's more like 95% of the time.
It started when he was 2 and wanted to get some stickers out of one of those sticker machines.. I told him no, I didn't have any change... so he said he didn't need change... he walked up, pulled the lever thing and out came a sticker... the one he wanted too. Candy machines work the same way for him. He used to LOL at me when I told him "no" that he couldn't have any gum/candy from the machine... and he'd sneak away and get some.. w/out coins... they just work for him. Now he's moved on to the crain games and will sit there and win his siblings whatever toys they want out of them. It's crazy! I told him when he turns 18 he's goin' to the casino with me!!!!!!!!!

6yo DD is part monkey! She can climb most anything.. and she climbs HIGH w/ no fear.. .until she has to figure out how to get down! She was about 80 ft up a pine tree out here when we first moved in. I had to put an end to that.. and hung a knot tied rope instead. She did a rock climbing thing at the fair last week and within seconds was up to the top, while the other two (teenager and adult) were struggling to just get halfway. She's part monkey I tell ya!

8yo (the fart smellin' one) has a photographic memory.. but I think that's more part of his autism. He's also got a great ear (or sensitive ears) that he's the first to point out when you're singing out of tune!

hehehe!

The younger two.. well haven't quite learned their gifts yet!

Me, I can p/u things w/ my toes like a couple others on here... it was very handy when I was pregnant.. much easier to p/u toys and clothes off the floor. I didn't realize others couldn't do that? My 6yo plays the piano w/ her toes... LOL (the part monkey)

perfect pitch......
can play alomst any insturment (except the oboe...I HATE those things) by ear
can't read a note of music...after 38 years I seem to be unable to learn.

People think that prefect pitch would be a blessing but I can hear EVERY bad note in a song, EVERY out of tune string of an orchestra.... It makes me nutz to hear a piano out of tune....you have no Idea what it's like to hear a bloody cell phone.
I hear a tone, pitch, timbre, melody, rithym, cadance in everything from screaching brakes to braking glass.


ugg

by the way, the dial tone on the phone is "F" just in case you nee to tune a guitar or whatever and don't have a pipe or a tuning machine.

My oldest daughter 7 can stand on er head, bend her fingers over to touch her arm, can bend her toes over to touch the top the feet , make a popping sound with her right ankle, of my son has very weak cartlidge in his ears- they are like rubber,and he can break everything you give him, my youngest daughter can identify the owner of every piece of clothing in our house and climb like a monkey i can wiggle and lift up my left knee cap, have the same flexi toes as my oldest daughter and a double jointed right thump

OOOOH!
I just forgot to remember something.... (don't ask...)

When I was a kid I could walk into any house, and know where every thing is.

Mom would show off by having the owners ask me where something only they would know is.

then I could either thell them or walk to it in about two minutes.

I found out about this one when I was very young my grand father needed something really fast, I ran into their house, right to the drawer, grabbed the wrench.
It was only the second time I had been in their house, EVER. I had no idea how I knew the wrench was in there I just KNEW where it was.
