What could you do as a child........

[Sleepy]

That you could not do now if your life depended on it?

I could read sheet music to play a flute (3rd-5th grade). Don't have the slightest idea how to go about reading sheet music now.....or play the flute.

 

[DisneyAddict_M]

play the guitar
do a somersault
put my feet behind my head (I can only get them up to my forehead now)

 

[snoopy]

use a pogo stick. I could do that for hours as a kid, I tried to use one as an adult and got about 4 jumps in, tops.

But I can still hula hoop like a champ.

 

[Tigger_Magic]

Eat like a horse and not gain an ounce.

 

[diznygirl]

play the guitar
do a somersault

"only" up to your forehead?!!!

For me, the splits. I was a cheerleader waaaaaaay back when. I can still yell pretty loud tho!

Eat like a horse and not gain an ounce.

I am with you on this one! I could also do the splits, but NO WAY could I do that now!

That's too funny! That's me EXACTLY! I also took piano...go figure!

I can no longer do the splits. No way...No how!

 

[MeanLaureen]

The splits.. at least on purpuse

Read a book or watch tv while hanging upside down off of the couch with my feet hooked over the top. Not sure why I liked to do this. Might answer a lot of questions about my periodic ditziness though

 

[luvmydogs]

Walk on the 'knuckles' of my toes. Ouch!

I was never a cheerleader, but I could also do them.

 

[Disney Doll]

A cartwheel.

 

[ilovedale3]

I also used to be able to put my feet behind my head. If I tried to do that now, you guys would see me DIS'ing from the hospital.

 

[HappyMommy2]

Swing all the way across the monkey bars.
I tried it a few days ago---OUCH!!!!

 

[SpecialK]

Walk on my hands, a backbend, a headstand, a backflip.

 

[jekajekalynn]

Jump rope (I'd blow out my knees now!)
play clarinet
speak French --I took 4 years of French in High school, I was even in the French Honor Society but I have almost completly forgoten it. Well, it's not a language that one gets to use a lot of on a daily basis in the Midwest anyways! lol

 

[krissy2803]

Run like the wind. I could also speak dutch. Father was staitoned in Holland and I went to a Dutch school.

 

[nativetxn]

I don't know how to describe it but I could sit flat on the ground with my legs bent at the knees, away from my body. That sounds weird but I could sit for hours like that playing jacks.
