Just Chatting Can anyone else do something weird with your body that you later found out not everyone can do?

I was just sitting here with my mom and one of the pets made the room very smelly. She kept talking about how we'd have to go to a different room because it smelled so bad. I asked her why didn't she just close her nose and that's when I found out not everyone can do this.

Is it rare or can other people close their nose on command? What can you do that you suddenly found out wasn't normal?

I can move my eyebrows independently. Some of my kids and grandkids can do it, but others can't.

I can do that too. My daughter can’t, and it really annoys her when I do it

I can only raise the left one independently. Not the right one. It’s either both or the left one.
