Can you touch your toes without bending your knees? Can you sneeze with your eyes open? Can you kiss your elbow? And for how long can you stand on one foot?
These are questions that puzzle me. I know how silly they are because what difference does it make if you can or can’t kiss your elbow (unless you work in the circus)? But why is it so frustrating when I try to touch my toes while keeping my knees straight, fail and end up falling straight on my head?
Maybe we hate being told that we don’t have control over our own bodies and that makes us feel nervous?
