It came as no surprise when he started licking his elbow

This is James.

He is 8.

He learnt how to do this from watching Lilo & Stitch.

I think it's very cool.

In fact, that I'd even say I am mildly jealous.

I personally can't do any cool tricks. But I do have a friend who is a gymnastics-guys love this (in a not very strange way, I am not surprised at all, I think there is double emphasis on the fact that I am really, really not shocked by guys loving the idea of a girl doing the splits). So I also have a friend who can stick one end of a condom up his nose and pull it out through his mouth (now this, on the other hand, shocks me quite a bit). I like to think that because I know people who can do tricks, I somehow acquire semi-trick status. Like people who know celebrities, they are, in some bizarre way, semi-celebs themselves... See?

Anyway

This trick comes in handy when you've got both hands on the steering wheel (and no I didn't just admit to anything).
