I think I'm really good at noticing small details. Kinda as if I'm OCD, but mostly just really observant.
Like Shawn Spencer
Something like that, yeah. But without the photographic memory.
Cool! Like Sherlock
Well, I do have a memory palace... So, that's probably a closer comparison. What about yourself?
I can wiggle my ears.
Like President Monson!
Exactly! Except probably not as well as he can.
Was that something you've been doing since you popped out of the womb, or have you learned? Do they teach special classes for that sort of thing?
I think I figured it out when was 12 or something. I decided I wanted to do it. I just practiced almost unconsciously for a few days until I found a way to make my ears move. Then I just practiced that until I built up a muscle memory.
That's some incredible willpower. And patience. Those make good superpowers as well! Have you ever taught anyone how to do it?
No. I think it's not really something I could teach. I could probably lead someone through how to figure it out for themselves though.
That's probably good enough. Please lead all of your children through it until you can all do it in sync with one another. That'd win America's Got Talent. Especially if you did it to music.
That would be impressive. I don't know if it would win though. I would laugh if I saw it, but I feel like it would get weird a couple minutes into the song.
Yeah, it'd get really weird, but that's sort of the idea, right? Plus, if you know how long it takes to get to that point, you can just end the act right before that spot. Either way, it'd be hilarious to see on TV.
Maybe if we had special LEDs on our ears only on a dark stage It would be like little fairies or something Set it to "Dance of the Sugarplum Fairies"
Oh my goodness, yes! I'm laughing so hard right now. I'm getting weird looks from the person next to me. That would be absolutely brilliant. For the Semi-Finals you could paint your ears neon colors and perform underblacklights.
Oh absolutely. I'm going to have to get children to teach this to
If all else fails, become an elementary school teacher. That'll give you a small army to work with. In any case, this has been the funniest conversation I've had all day, but I've gotta run now. Good luck finding and teaching those kids!
All right, keep it real Andrew!
