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, yes*, yes, yes, eys, yes, yes. can't think of any.
*in my childhood, I could do cartwheels. However, I have not attempted a cartwheel since the gymnastics unit in high school, so I can't say for sure.
I'm so much more coordinated now than I was a kid, I should really try to learn more stuff again. I "played" tennis from like 5th through 12 grades and was always terrible, until the end of high school, when I finally started being able to deal with my body.
Oh, and I need to actually give my parents the dacing lessons I offered them for Christmas. Not that I'll be teaching, that I'll be buying.
ita, did you do handsprings? I think a goal of mine should be able to do a back handspring at 35.
Can you play any instrument? Hold a tune when singing?
I used to play piano, now, nsm. I can still sing, though!
I have a good sense of rhythm, but zero dance ability. I was never comfortable enough in my own skin as a child or teen to learn how to loosen up enough.
I also used to be a pretty good tennis player. I wish I'd kept it up.
The summer I was three years old, we had an extended stay at a motel with a pool, and I practically lived in the pool all summer.
I just learned on my own to swim underwater, I never learned to swim properly.
We haven't even hit on the childhood crafty and arts skills.

I can glue macaroni on a picture frame like a motherfucker.
I would love to learn ballroom dancing and belly dancing. I can get down with my funky self when I'm alone with the door closed and the curtains drawn.
edit: though the cats probably are snickering to themselves when I do.
I offered to cover someone's powerbook with masking tape and adding shoe polish for a faux corkboard look. She declined.
