Funny! I have a problem that whenever anybody on tv or in front of me shrug their shoulders I immediately shrug mine. Sometimes my reaction is so quick I think that maybe I actually did it before they did! I have no control over this...it feels like a spasm. Very strange.
I do this sometimes, mostly with kicking, just found out there is a neurological reason for it. Same neurons fire in your brain whether you see it or do it.
Do you suppose that's the reason that many of us yawn when we see someone else yawn? When I read 'Santa Mouse' to my kids (30 yrs ago - sheesh) I couldn't help but yawn when I read that Santa Mouse yawned. The kids thought I was embellishing the story, but I couldn't help doing it.
