When I was a very young girl my parents gave my brother, Chuckie, and I every opportunity to swim. We loved the water and were natural "fish." I, however, had a great aversion to getting water up my nose...and instead of holding my nose with my fingers, which I found incredibly annoying, I soon found out that I could cover my nostrils with my upper lip. I could make a perfect little vacuum seal so no water would enter my nose. Can't picture it? (Well, I am sure many of you already can because you have seen me do this.) Here is a picture so you can see this amazing talent with your own eyes:
Incredible, I know. Freakish, too. And oddly...I think I look kind of hot in this picture...hotter than any picture I've had taken in quite a while...
I digress. Anyway, as I was on my forty-first or fifty-second boring lap in the pool the other day, I was reminded of this "talent" of mine. I noted that I no longer need to do it. I can swim like a grown up now. And I was also reminded that my stepmom, KBC, found this skill of mine fascinating. As a matter of fact, when I saw her in June she asked me to do it...and to this day she laughs with amazement (as I know she is laughing as she reads this). So, KBC, this post is for you. :) Thanks for always laughing with me and not at me!
