Sewing. I just figured I could, and did. Not like a tailor but whatever I needed I could make.
Driving a manual shift car. Learned when I was 15 because everyone else was too drunk. Absolutely love driving manual ever since.
And, the one I really don’t understand still - reading. I was 3 years old and told my mom I could read. I couldn’t read, was lying, had memorized a book she used to read to me. But after I “read” that book to her, I felt I could read anything. The newspaper, novels, anything with words I could read it, like a switch flipped. The next book I remember reading is Grendel.
