Death of a Talent

I have so few talents that the death of one is worth memorializing.
Since I was a small child or I want to remember it has been that long, I have had the talent of pinching with my toes. I could cause real pain. I loved it! I could be sitting a "safe" distance from someone and sure enough cause pain when they didn't expect it. Siblings, neices and nephews alike have had the memorial experience.
WELL IT ENDED. With the surgeries on my feet this has come to a crashing end. I know sad day.
I realized this yesterday evening when it occurred to me that I might not be able to accomplish this wonderful feat. I tried a few times with the right foot WITHOUT SUCCESS.
I hope this is one of those things that when a door closes there is a window somewhere that is opened. I just can't loose talents without replacements!!!

Naw, give it a good several months and you'll be pinching away! it took me a long while before mine was operating 100% like before.
