I can't whistle.
shareI can whistle normally but not that other kind of whistle you do with your fingers.
shareI can't do the finger whistle thing either.
shareI've always wanted to do that loud kind with your fingers. My best friend growing up could do it and tried to teach me, but I never got the hang of it.
shareI can! I can! It always surprised my kids that I could do it and they can't.
shareI'm envious 😄
Who taught you how to do it? How long did it take you?
To be honest I don't remember who taught me. I may have just figured it out for myself. I can remember sitting in a crowd at ball games, etc. and just doing it - and people would turn around to see who did it. I was pretty loud, and being short like I am, they couldn't believe I could make that much noise. 🤭
shareHa ha!
That's the best thing about it, it's so loud. I tried and tried to learn. Nope.
Can you whistle through your teeth?
shareNo, but I can roll my tongue :D
shareUp or down? I can only curl it up.
shareBoth, but I can't make a "flower" with my tongue, curling it up and in the middle at the same time.
shareI've never even heard of that.
shareReally? I've known a couple of people who could do that.
Ha ha, people search "make a flower with your tongue"! Here's a video of someone doing it, although they call it a clover, not a flower :)

Weird "skill" to have.
shareI can't whistle either.

I feel you.
shareRide a bike.
shareHave you ever trained with one?
shareYeah, and it went horribly every time.
sharehi
shareIf this happened when you were a child then maybe you should give it another chance now as an adult.
shareI tried, and it's still hard :(.
shareUse training wheels? :-)
shareI have actually considered getting adult-sized training wheels for this lovely bike dad got me in my early 20s. That, and replacing the mountain-bike tires with regular, smooth ones. Evidently the regular training wheels would not be able to support my adult weight, so I'll have to get something different. It almost makes me wish there was such a thing as adult tricycles. Either that, or hover-bikes like they have in Star Wars.
shareyou missed out on so much
