Can you touch your back?
I've discovered one of us, either my wife or me, is an anatomical oddity.
I can touch my back. There's no part of my back that I can't touch with one hand or the other. In fact, I can touch hands behind my back, right between my shoulder blades. Whereas there are vast stretches of lurkette's (well, pretty small, really) back that she can't reach with either hand. Here I thought that women were supposed to be more flexible than men!
She's constantly bugging me to scratch her back, which generally I don't mind unless, as is frequently the case, I'm trying to sleep at the time.
This leads to funny situations like: I bought her a telescoping back-scratcher as a gag gift for Christmas one year, and she LOVES it and treasures it and uses it regularly. She carries it with her on business trips so she can scratch her back when I'm not around! Imagine!
So am I just strangley-shouldered? Or is lurkette back-reaching-deficient?
