1. I lost two sets of baby teeth. All but my incisors grew in for the third time. The orthodontist pulled all my teeth forward with braces, spun my canine teeth a quarter way around and reshaped them to look like incisors. Oh, and yes, I did make out like a bandit with the tooth fairy 
2. I am immune to viral infections. I have never had the flu, never had a cold and never had any childhood illnesses like chickenpox. I've even been exposed 3 times to chickenpox and touched my DH shingles before we knew what they are.. never caught it. Now, this doesn't necessarily equal a good thing because this quirk in my immune system is causing it to work overtime and it's destroying other things in my body, like my joints.
3. I was painfully shy as a kid. I wouldn't even answer a phone until I was about 12. This would be more amazing if you knew me in real life. I have no issues with public speaking in front of hundreds of people now.
4. I started working at 15 yrs old, and stayed with that same company, working several different jobs in management, for 26 yrs until last year when I was forced to retire due to my health
5. My toes and pinky fingers are double jointed
