OY. Somehow the line between me helping manage a project and being an admin assistant seems to be lost on one of my co-workers. I wonder how to give him a chance to behave before ratting him out. Because this is just annoying.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I loved to swim when I was younger but I would never swim in deep water. This is partly because of fear and partly because my legs just aren't strong enough to make me a really good swimmer.
I'm a SJ-hata
I admit I was skimming when I saw this and wonder what I did to make ita hate me.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
didn't grow up near water, learned in pools when young, never had our own pool, never became a really good swimmer, don't like lakes or the ocean because there are things in the water, deep wide pools affect some form of vertigo in me if I look down, so swimming across them becomes a bit of a battle of my will. No idea why.

I'm now wanting to continue to ask about childhood skills. Cause now I wanna know what I think of the norm and whether they really are the norm. Like, can you ride a bike? Do a cartwheel? Catch, throw, hit a ball? Jump rope? Skate? Any other skill I didn't mention?

Yes to all but the cartwheel, provided that we're talking about childhood skills rather than adult ones.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Like, can you ride a bike? Do a cartwheel? Catch, throw, hit a ball? Jump rope?
No, no, kinda, sorta, no, yes.
And I can rollerskate, but now it scares me.

Yes, Childhood I think. I can still do cartwheels, but I'm a freak. Cartwheels are, I think, gendered.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Have you ever tried to teach an adult to swim? Not inconsiderable.
No, but I've never tried to teach an adult to pat her head while rubbing her belly, either.
I do remember learning to locomote with my head under water (as opposed to the generalized doggy-crawl) at about age seven, because I gave myself a black eye due to locomoting with my eyes closed, directly into the wall of the pool.
In fact, it is the only black eye I have ever had.

I can ride a bike, but it's been decades. I grew up in the country, and distances, hills and roads without shoulders kept me from going far. Can jump rope. Fairly incompetent with a ball. Cartwheels are a mystic art to which I have not been initiated.

Very true. That would be a great name for an all-girl punk band, too, now that I think about it.
