Just this afternoon some boys were on my front porch - some of my son's playmates - just outside of the window near my desk. I heard some disgusting farting reference - and I couldn't resist saying "ew!" and one little guy looked sheepishly in the window - and said, "Did you hear that?" Maybe next time I'll learn from you and just ignore it. It was just a knee-jerk response. Why do they LOVE this stuff so much? This is so funny.

As we were taught at school that this was genetically controlled, and that the tongue-rolling gene was recessive, we were completely confused as to why my brother couldn't do it. We had all but come to the conclusion that he was a genetic mutant (which he quite liked, as I think he saw himself as some kind of X-man), when my dad intervened and sent me a <a href="http://www.thetech.org/genetics/ask.php?id=125" rel="nofollow"> link</a> which explains that it's all about expression (or penetrance, as some geneticists call it). The way the gene is expressed is dependent on all the other factors which can have an effect on them. Hope this clears it up a bit! <strong><em>TMS: Thanks, Amy! I knew that information was out there somewhere!</em></strong> Some info on tongue rolling - this has been the topic of an ongoing conversation between my brother and I, as I can tongue roll and he can’t.
