"I always liked that I could move my scalp back and forth," I reply - taking my fingertips and moving my scalp over my skull and then reaching over and moving hers.
"Wait! Wait!" she begs. "I can do this cool thing with my tongue. I figured it out in my mouth and then when I looked at it in the mirror it was soooooo cool."
"Okay. Show me."
She screwed up her mouth - eyes bugging out a bit - she started snorting with laughter and showed me her tongue - not doing anything particularly special - not a tunnel, nothing - kind of just lying there.
"Wait! Wait!!"
"I'm not seeing anything. You just look like you've tasted something yucky."
"What I'd really like is to be able to make my tongue look like a snake tongue - you know with two parts..."
"Your tongue would have to be cut in two..."
"Yeah! Like this lady from a Freak Show in New Jersey..."
"New Jersey?"
"Yeah - she could move her tongue in two different directions at the same time!"
"So she could pick both nostrils at once if she really wanted to?"
"EEEEEWW!! Mummy! Gross!"
"You're the one who wants a snake tongue - I'm just thinking of the perks."
