Sorry, just thinking of the song. Anyway. This might be a dumb question, but can you whistle? I might be the only one that can't. :blush: My four-year-old cousin just learned how and now she whistles constantly and thinks it's hysterically funny that I'm THIRTEEN and I've never learned how. She even tried to teach me but it didn't work, lol.

Don't feel bad, I can't whistle either. It sucks that everyone else can though.

i cant- didnt learn how when i was really little because my grandmother thought whistling was "uncivilized" :crazy:

so then by the time i tried to learn, my embrouchure was all messed up from flute and piccolo.

I can. I used to work w/a girl who was in her 40's and she couldn't whistle. She used to get mad at me whenever I would whistle.

I can't whistle. I tried to learn as a child but just couldn't. I wonder if people who can't whistle have a different setup going on or something because I'm far from stupid.

I am 52 years old and have never been able to whistle! Don't feel bad but I read somewhere that being able to whistle is hereditary. You either have it or you don't! I don't!:(

Wow, it's hereditary? I had no clue. That's interesting! (And it makes me feel better...lol)

I dunno. I used to not be able to whistle at all, but I kinda practiced and caught on to it. Maybe I'm one of those exceptions. LOL!

I taught myself how to whistle. And i taught myself how to blow a bubble w/ bubblegum. And i taught myself how to push the start button on a microwave when i was like 2 [haaaahaaaaa funny memories]. And i taught myself how to work a computer. And i taught myself how to shape my eyebrows. And i taught myself how to put on makeup, well most of it. My my im so smart arent i.

I can whistle...but only by blowing IN. Blowing out like everyone else just gets me lightheaded. It sucks though because I cant whistle like notes or anything..and like every 2 seconds I have to stop and take a breather.:rolleyes:

I can't whistle or blow bubbles using bubblegum. I've just never been able to do either :confused:

I can whistle and blow bubbles with gum, but blowing bubbles with gum did take practice.

I can whistle but it doesn't come out loud. I've always wanted to whistle using my two fingers but I just can't. My dad could whistle loud. The one thing I can't do is snap my fingers. I get nothing.

I can whistle but I didn't learn how until I was around 16.
