Have you ever tried to read upside down from a slight distance?
My Mr. and I tried this the other night after he heard about a UK mystery author who claims that there is extreme value in the ability of those that can read upside down.
So my Mr. and I had to try it and he did quite well and was quite pleased with himself.
When it was my turn he decided to add the earthquake factor (shaking the paper and waving it around). I did quite well, given the adverse conditions (better than he did)!
Why not challenge your brain, give it a try. It is most likely a useless skill, It’s highly unlikely that you will need to secretly read documents upside down unless you are a character in some mystery novel possibly but it can be a rather fun challenge and something to get you and the partner doing something different together.
And we all love a battle of the smarts competition with the partner right? Well, at least if we win or is that just a ‘me’ thing…

I’ve done it! This is sometimes how I read books to my daughter, is that what you mean? I hold the book so she can see it and I read it upside down.
Yup, exactly! I do that too. Children’s stories usually have bigger font.
She has a skilled parent! Lucky girl.
Try a sheet that has full typed text it gets a little harder..
Yes, I admit children’s books are easier 🙂 Hopefully she will learn to read before I need to read smaller fonts. I can still do it, but it’s slow.
I always love a new challenge:). Thanks
My pleasure! Let me know how it works out for you 🙂
OK. up until half-way in to the paragraph, I thought you were talking about standing on you head and reading! Duhh jim. I’m gonna try the normal way, and flip the book, I think.
I bet you could do both, hands down (get it hands down, handstand, ha between here and my FB page I’m on a humor roll today!) lol
haha. I showed off in grade school by hand walking. I tried it again at 30, and learned my center of gravity had “shifted”. I had a belly, and went flopping over.
Hand walking is impressive, a 30 year old hangover belly is not 😉
I coached cheer leading and my hand stand days are long gone. I attempted a cartwheel the other day, not pretty..I was almost afraid to put all the weight on my wrists…
Age eh?(there’s that Canadian thing..) It creeps up on you!
aye? Ya for sure. Hangover… in my case is “hang out”, watching basketball eating string cheese and Chef Gordon Ramsay.
This ought to be fun with my partner and I. We are going to try it after dinner tonight. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! good luck with it.
Let me know how it turns out and who wins! 😉
