  No, I don't think I have any body parts with a talent like that. I think you can really play the piano with your toes. That is fantastic. 

• secretlife said on Dec 29, 2007....

  moms:  i am laughing so hard because my feet look JUST LIKE YOURS!!!  We have twin toes!
  my oldest daughter has a a real hidden talent - she sculpts figures (animals mostly) using starburst candy.
  my middle daughter's tongue is the longest tongue i've ever seen, rivaling gene simons (honest)!
  i have not discovered a hidden talent for my son, but just know it must involve video gaming.... 

• polarheart said on Dec 29, 2007....

  Momsrock, what cute little tootsies you have!  Guess what I immediately did when I saw your photo?  I pulled off my sock and spread my toes and I think mine look nastier than yours - - - and of course my toenails aren't painted so they look really gross! LOL
   
  I can also move my pinkie toes out to the side without moving my other toes - can you do that?

• evil_twin said on Dec 29, 2007....

  Moms, you posted a picture of your feet before! I remember! I think it might have been one of the very first posts I read of yours. They're like Fred Flinstone feet! I think it's hilarious that you send pictures of them to your sister. That's great. They don't look so bad to me though.
  
  I don't think I have any hidden talents but I can pick things up with my feet...

  skald: maybe that should be my treat to my sisters next year...playing christmas songs with my toes! lol...:)
   
  SL: LMAO!!!! I knew there was a reason I liked you so much!!
  The starburst is pretty impressive... all the willpower to not eat them while sculpting!!
  Does your middle daughter have a big mouth? my tongue isn't long it's just thick and fat and once I had braces it didn't fit in my mouth anymore...LOL :)
  Did your son flip out over the Wii??
   
  Polar: Thank you! LOL Well, one of the benefits of having toes that are almost all the same length is you can paint them really quick....one long swoop and they are all painted! :)  No, I don't seem to be able to move my pinkie toes out without moving my big toe and my tongue...LOL  That's funny that you can... I am laughing right now imagining you tapping someone with just your pinkie toe..."Excuse me miss..." tap tap...LOL

• momsrock said on Dec 29, 2007....

  ET: Yes... I thought I had it saved in drafts to put back up but I couldn't find it...so I did another one...It disgusts my sisters... but being the youngest I live to annoy and disgust them...I think I'm part male...LOL I have to wear flip flops most of the year ...They are 4 1/4 inches wide...so they are thankful when it finally snows and I have to cover them up... 
  pcking things up with your feet qualifies... some people have very uncoordinated feet only good for walking... : )

• secretlife said on Dec 29, 2007....

  moms:  i have exact replica's of my mother's feet....did you get yours from your mom?
  my middle daughter has a smallish mouth.......and a long tongue which can easily be mistaken for a lizards.
  my son and my husband have been down for food and water, but for the most part have been locked away with the wii since wednesday!
   

• gingersoul said on Dec 29, 2007....

  Moms....LOL....i think you are quite talented indeed.....cute toes...:-D

  You made me remember a post i wrote some time ago where i was asking the same question.....marvelous answers i got....people here seems indeed having hidden talents like our....lol..... READ HERE

    

• travelr712 said on Dec 29, 2007....

  i wonder how many people spread their toes on reflex when they read this? i know i did! :-)

• momsrock said on Dec 29, 2007....

  SL: Yes!! Except for the big toe on my other foot....that's from my Dad... which makes it even funnier...my big toes don't really match!! I can laugh about it now but I remember calling my mom from my dorm room crying "Do you know my toes don't match?!?!" Ha...it was a long week...I was tired...
   
  GS: LOL Who knew SC'ers had so many talents!!!! They crack me up!!!
   
  Travelr: LOL I know.... I wish we could see everyone doing it....one of the downsides of talking about this stuff online I guess!

• wombat said on Dec 29, 2007....

  Funny stuff here....thanks for the smiles.
   
  Alas, I have no such talents, unless you want to count being able to roll my eyes, bend over backward to please others, and holding out my longest finger, while simultaniously keeping the rest of them bent.  Ha......

• quietone said on Dec 29, 2007....

  moms ~ I have short toes like that too..but I can't spread em out like that...only the little one goes astray!  no other hidden talents

• MissMimi said on Dec 29, 2007....

  My feet are not talented, but they are very small.  I have to buy my shoes in the children's department.  it's embarrassing, and my children rub it in whenever they can.   When I ask my son to help me move the laundry from the washer to the dryer, he says he needs binoculars to find my socks. 
   
  LOL at skald's idea.  Good one, skald! 

• Twylarants said on Dec 29, 2007....

  I did the same thing as Travelr did and got a cramp in my foot.  My toes are long, so I pick stuff up with them because it's easier than bending down.  That's how lazy I am.
  My toenails and fingernails are huge and hard as rocks.  It takes a gallon of polish to paint all 20 nails.  I have a talented right thumbnail though...I use it to open boxes in work because I'm always losing my box cutter.
  

• momsrock said on Dec 29, 2007....

  LOL Wombat... I initially thought you meant something else by bending over backward to please others.... I was thinking...really? how does that work? I'd fall on my head....lmao :)
   
  quietone: those little ones seem to be a little tricky... :)
   
  Mimi: We're at opposite ends of the spectrum then.... Maybe we should shop for shoes together! When I show my feet and make people cringe...they'll be happy to help you find shoes for yours! lol
   
  Twylarants: I wish my nails were a little harder....sounds like they come in pretty handy! lol.... I can't pick stuff up with my toes either...I used to be able to but my toes are getting too chubby for that these days! LOL :)

• kumarilata said on Dec 29, 2007....

  I can cross my toes.  but my best trick is twisting my body into the shape of a pretzel.

• the_infernal_optimist said on Dec 29, 2007....

  I'm still laughing...is it sad that I got out a tape measure to see how big your feet are compared to mine? (You have me by 1/4" if you're curious. ;-))
  
  I can't get my big toe out quite that far. I can put my hand against a wall and twist my arm more than normal (double-jointed at the elbow) or "straighten" my arms out to the side and have them kind of make this shape to a more minor degree: ^ (grosses my DH out every time).

• Aqua-Bristol said on Dec 30, 2007....

  I am your polar opposite! My yoga instructor cracked up at how little I can spread my toes when trying to warm up and find my center, or steady ground. But then again, I have little feet and stubby toes.

  My special skill? Others have told me that I read quickly (I have nothing which to compare it). I also have an unusual memory for numbers and lists. I cannot say of what value that is, for it doesn't make me more money. :)

  And your feet are far from gross. Actually, they're rather cute.

• Fallyn said on Dec 30, 2007....

  i have fred flintstone feet....square like that..but yours aren't gross, they're cute!
  .i HATE my feet.
  
  and they are MASSIVE to boot.
  
  *sigh*
  
  oh well......
  

• destinydiva said on Dec 30, 2007....

  my brother and daughter are double jointed?? they can bend their thumbs right back against their wrists...yak  that is disgusting!!  :-)
  
  I think your feet are pretty cute!!  :-) I hate my feet, i hate feet uhhhh!!!  :-) xx
  

• momsrock said on Dec 30, 2007....

  kumarilata: Oh wow... never thought of crossing toes... mine don't do it! lol and there is definitely no twisting into a pretzel!! You must be pretty flexible!! :)

  infernal: lol...do you hate shoe shopping? I do...ewww... does it hurt your elbows? It looks like that would hurt when I see people doing it...i guess it doesn't though.. :)

  Aqua-Bristol: How long have you done yoga? Reading quickly can come in handy.... i would have liked that a few months ago!! It had been so long since I read and actual book that i was pretty slow!

  Fallyn: I guess we can't  be perfect or people would be jealous.... :) 

  Destiny: eww... no double jointed-ness here! lol  Whenever I see stuff like that it just looks painful...but I guess it's not

• wakingharmony said on Dec 30, 2007....

  My Cousin Used to say she had Fred Flintstone feet and "cankles" She didn't have ankles her calves just continued to her feet..(I didn't see that though) I can also pick things up with my toes (or used to) and could also pinch you with them hehe, anymore though I just feel lucky if they stay under my body when I'm walking, or keep up with my brain haha.
  

• the_infernal_optimist said on Dec 30, 2007....

  Yes, I hate shoe shopping. I usually have to settle for my fourth or fifth choice because it's the only one that fits - but I get like one pair of shoes every three or four years, so it's not a huge issue. (MIL just bought me a pair of Jack Wolfskins in Germany for Christmas - those things had better last a while!)

• silverwhisper said on Dec 30, 2007....

• momsrock said on Dec 30, 2007....

  wakingharmony: You could pinch?? LOL So jealous right now...I've tried to pinch my sister with them but they are too weak... I need to "condition" them maybe! lol 
   
  infernal: Same here... I refuse to buy them because its such an ordeal so I keep them forever...except flip flops...I have a hundreds of those...but they fit all feet!
   
  Ed: too bad there is never a toe spreading contest...might actually be a contest I could win! :)  I reread her post... it's pretty funny... How've you been?

• silverwhisper said on Dec 30, 2007....

  been OK, thanks. :> just scarce, is all. :>

  quietone: Thank you!  I think it's nice to have a face to go along with the voice every now and then... LOL

• downwardblog said on Jun 16, 2008....

  So cute. Maybe you should try to get yourself on america's got talent. i guess it's starting again tomorrow so the auditions are already over. but i like your cutie feet. they do kind of look like mine and my family's. square feet rule.
