Haven’t done shit with that skill, but 5-year-old-me was one of those kids that excitedly pointed out an airplane every time I saw one.
I think young-me would be blown away by my crafting skills, too. Goes to show what a lifetime of practice can do.
Oh, and solving a Rubik’s cube. That seemed like sorcery to me as a kid.
That’s not even getting into the fact that using my imagination (to embed teaching skills into play time) is part of my job. If there’s anything I’m proud of, it’s becoming the adult/teacher that I wished I had when I was a kid. I don’t think my 5-year-old self would’ve appreciated what that means, but she would’ve been happy to know that being adult doesn’t mean letting go of being playful.
Learned to fly a plane.
