The Talented Mr. Romine

Sam plays basketball at school on Wednesdays. His coach, Coach K, gives out lollipops. So driving home last night Sam got to have a Starburst lollipop. It has a soft Starburst inside and smells awful. But he must've liked it because he chanted "Yummy in my tummy!" most of the way home.

At one point I looked in the rear-view mirror and noticed he was holding the pop several inches from his face and doing some strange, exaggerated near-licking of the lollipop. And then, I saw it. He can curl his tongue. Apparently he inherited the dominant, enviable tongue-curling trait from his dad.
