#10: Things you don't know if you know, you know?

I have always wondered if people who can't sing know they can't sing.  Having watched countless episodes of X Factor makes me think not.  Some snotty little princess warbling her way through an emotional Mariah Carey ballad and hitting, at most, 3 notes is genuinely shocked when Simon Cowell starts digging into her (Do I think it was brilliant? No. Honestly that was one of the worst performances I have ever heard).  So if you can't hear that your voice is like fingernails down a chalkboard, you don't know you're making ears bleed until someone tells you!  Having said that, how many people will you meet who actually have the stones to tell you you've got a shit voice?!



Another thing I don't know if you would know, is if you were cross eyed.  If wonky looks straight then would your wonky eyes look normal?!  I was once speaking to a cross eyed person who came out with "I used to be cross eyed".  It took all my self control to slap a concerned look on my face and come up with "oh.... really?".  What I was really thinking was "USED TO BE?........USED???".  So I just assumed a caring family member/hilarious practical joker had told her she wasn't boss eyed any more, when clearly one eye was looking at me and one was looking for me.


So for all I know, I could be a tone deaf, cross-eyed person!  Someone let me know, I'd rather I knew the truth.
