What's your hidden talent? What is the skill or ability you have people are always surprised to learn you posses? What hidden talent do you wish you had? #postaday2011

Hidden talents:

• Touch my nose with my tongue - it is a genetic phenomenon, one of the fascinating things I inherited from my Mom's side.
• I can whistle like a song bird or a cell phone - depending upon your generation. I used to whistle in high school during tests to mess with the teacher. I never got caught. It got to be dangerous when a few friends learned that it was me whistling and they would start giggling - totally ruining the fun I was having.
• I can change my voice to speak like a little child, not in a tiny and soft voice, but more like a cartoon character of a child's voice. This hidden talent comes in handy when I read children books. 

A skill or ability I have that people are surprised to learn I possess:

• I play the piano, American Indian flute, and clarinet.
• I love yoga and knitting (I think this has something to do with sitting still and being peaceful, apparently folks don't "see" me in this light).
• I like math and puzzle problems - and can solve them pretty well.

What hidden talent do I wish I possessed:

• I would love to be able to play the guitar and ukulele.
• I would love to sing well - just open my mouth and have beautiful sounds come out (that others would enjoy, I sing for my own amusement).
• I would love to learn how to draw and paint well with watercolors.
• I would love to learn how to relax without trying so hard at it.
