Five things I couldn't do as a child and still have yet to master as an adult:
Twirl a baton
Cartwheel
Roll my R's (¡Arriba!)
Snap my fingers on my left hand
Cross my eyes
What about you?

Greetings!
My name is Amanda... but you can call me Mermanda if you want to. I nest in Pittsburgh with my merman Andrew and Luke, our rescued retired racing greyhound. I'm a full-time publicist and part-time freelance writer (hire me!) with a serious addiction to sushi, live music, ginger snaps, and blawgs, of course.
What else do you need to know? I'm a surprisingly excellent thumb wrestler and I make the best grilled cheese sandwiches around. Yep, that should cover it.

I thought of a few more for you:
1. Cook anything other than grilled cheese.
2. Determine the location of either Alaska or Canada without referring to a map.
3. Unlock the door.
4. Lock the door.
5. Pee without getting it on your leg.
I like you.
I can snap with my left hand, but not my right. I am right handed.
I could never master the cartwheel either and I have trouble whistling.
@Andrew--Ha!
I can't cartwheel either!
figure out where north is (it's wherever I'm facing. this is completely logical to me.)
I also cannot roll my R's and I'm a Spanish minor who lived in Spain/Italy for a year.... FAIL!
Ah! I still cannot do cartwheels! I always wanted to be able to. I can't role my R's either.
I'm also terrible at cooking, doing chores and being responsible in general....
Blow a gum bubble. I've tried to learn my whole life and fail miserably each time.
Hmm...I'll have to think about that! I've done all of those things...but I doubt I can do a cartwheel. I definitely can't do a flip ;) haha, I used to take baton twirling lessons when I was a kid...LOL.
I think I might be able to do all of those...perhaps not the baton. But that doesn't change the fact that I haven't evolved much since the age of five. :)
I can't cartwheel or cross my eyes - oh well... I thought these were big deals when I was younger : )
i could never cartwheel or do the splits...i was a 5th grade failure.
I *wish* so hard that I could cross my eyes but I am an abidextrous snapper.
I love this post!
I can't snap my fingers on my left hand either. And on my right hand? I use my thumb and ring finger...
There's nothing I can't do.
I suck at cartwheels...I think a lot of it has to do with my fear of hurling myself to the ground in the hopes of popping back up on the other side!
Can I please tell you how much I adore your relationship with Andrew? Your personalities CRACK ME UP!
FUn fact... When I was 5 I finally "thought" I mastered twirling the baton and while I was twirling I accidently hit my brother in the mouth. He lost two teeth... I know I'm a great sister.
I have NEVER been able to burp on command. Actually, I rarely burp at all and I REALLY wish I did.
lol! Andrew is inappropriate and wonderful.
I can't cartwheel, whistle with my fingers in my mouth, or do the splitz.
I think they teach you how to do all these things in Brownies. I totally should have signed up.
I definitely can't do a cartwheel. Or the splits. And I was in gymnastics when I was 5 years old, too.
Left had finger snapping is kinda hard though. I can't do it either.
i can't roll my R's either...boo!
it drives me nuts that i can't roll my rrrrrrrr's. spanish class was horrible.
i can't cartwheel either....
- i always thought i was a little too "bottom-heavy" to invert my body like that
- i was too self-concious to practice in my backyard (neighbor-boys are mean!!) :)
- lastly, let's face it, i'm pretty accident-prone!
I can't roll my Rs either. It's very frustrating.
