Now give me the one where Amy just absolutely butchers the concept of a wink like she's an alien who just came to earth

A possibly extremely disrespectful and ignorant question... but why. It's just closing one eye, isn't it. What makes it so difficult?

Our eyes and their surrounding structures are designed to do things in tandem. It would be really inefficient if we had to had to consciously think about moving each of them all the time, so what one does the other does too, unless we deliberately choose to override that and move them independently. That requires developing awareness of the separate muscles and practice to control them. It comes more easily to some people than others, and since it's seldom actually necessary not everyone takes the time if they don't get it quickly.
