| I can wiggle my ears independently |
| My 2nd toe is like a half inch longer than my big toe. I know it's not that unique but it requires me to go up a full shoe size. |
It's called a Greek toe |

Last year, I fell and broke my ankle; alarming and frightening because this was a first for me. At 53 I somehow avoided broken bones.
At my first consultation, the orthopedic doctor looked at my X-ray and asked if I’d had my previous break casted. I was confused and explained that no, this was my first broken bone. Dr. showed me what he called a healed break and was nonchalant about the whole thing. Apparently at some point maybe in childhood I’d broken my ankle and was unaware. |
Do you have a Roman nose too? |
| I have two extra bones in my feet. They’re called accessory bones and apparently it’s not that rare. But it’s rare enough that GP poked them and asked me what they were. Until that time I had been unaware that most people don’t have lumps there, and was rather surprised to have someone who went to medical school asking me what that thing on my body was. She sent me to a podiatrist who immediately knew what it was. |
| I’m left handed (for some things) but right eyed. That’s considered cross dominant and can often be a cause of reading difficulties. I learned to read very easily. Makes me wonder if doing some thing right handed played a role—like I had more bilateral synapses or something. 🤷🏻♀️ |

Due to severe torticollis as a baby, the right side of my face has some poorly developed muscles. Other muscles have compensated so that my face appears symmetrical if I'm also using the left side of my face (so smiling, blinking, raising eyebrows, etc). However, if I attempt to do these things with just my right, it is much weaker. I can only do a half smile on my right. I cannot close my right eye only, my cheek muscles are mostly immobile. If I hold down my right eye brow, my left side is strong enough to still raise both eye brows. If I hold down my left eyebrow, my right side is not strong enough to raise them.
My right side of my face is also slightly flatter (something no one notices) but it does lead to a more pronounced dimple on my right. |
I’ve heard it called Morton’s toe. |

I can do a lot of tongue tricks including a cloverleaf tongue!

| I had a breast reduction years ago and now need another one. I hate it. |
Huh interesting! I’m right handed (but somewhat ambidextrous; I do things right handed because teachers told me too after I kept switching on them) but strongly left eye dominant. Never had issues with reading. |
| Born with a bald spot. Hair has never grown in the area. |
| I can remember insanely long chains of numbers for years at a time. They fit together like puzzle pieces and look pretty. |
