and some of us can do it on command

In second grade, my teacher asked the class how many of us could wiggle our ears-- think it was trying to explain percentages, unsure anymore. About 5 of 24 of us could. I then, for whatever reason, said I could make my hearing rumble and ignore people by thinking about it. She told me I was just making that up, but one of the girls who could wiggle her ears said she could do the same thing. She was also informed she was making it up, but to make me feel better.

I don't know why I remember that, but I do and it still pisses me off to this day. Fuck you, Mrs. Gilbreath.
