Adrienne Lewis

My name is Adrienne Lewis.

I'm from Michigan, and I have one of the longest tongues in the world.

I can touch my eye.

I can reach the bottom of my chin.

I can also flap it really fast.

Both of my parents have long tongues, so I did inherit that, but I've also stretched it over all of these years.

It's been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.

With having a long tongue, I've been able to travel to Europe.

TV shows, I've been in interviews.

When I'm sick, I can just reach my tongue back there and scratch my throat.

The worst part about having a long tongue is some of the negative attention that I get.

The comments people make are just awful.

They make me uncomfortable and I also bite my tongue all the time.

I don't want my tongue to be the one thing that people think about me.

I have so many other qualities that are way cooler than just a tongue.

I want people to see me as kind and helpful, willing to do things for others.

And then she's showing people her tongue, but doesn't like the attention, so I'm very confused.

Why did it sound so weak like that?

What's going on?

I'm so glad I wasn't ever that.
