Talent You Had As A Kid But No Longer As An Adult

[Dr. T is an alien]

I was a really good shot with the basketball as a youth. Now, I cannot hit a shot to save my life.

Drawing.

Me too. I used to draw all the time, from when I was a tot up until college. Then I got this idea in my head that I was going to be a novelist and began writing instead of drawing. After about 10 years of first chapters that never developed into full novels, I realized I wasn't cut out for it and tried returning to drawing, but I was grossly out of practice. Who knows where I'd be now if I had kept it up?

Rapping, and no, I am not kidding. This was actually during my teen years. I actually used to try rapping when I was alone and I even wrote my own rhymes. However, after a while, I not only started to lose interest in doing it, I also feel that I don't have the skills anymore.

Play the violin.

I was so fat I could float perfectly in the pool on my back and take a nap.

I used to be the comedian as the kid, but the combination of bad life experiences and loss of my thick African accent work against me

My public speaking is good, but not as amazing as I was before because I worry a too much about how I come across.

i used to be able to do a double front flip on a trampoline...Now at 33 i'd kill myself

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

Oh yeah another one I just thought of

I used to be able to do backflips as a kid (thanks power rangers) but yeah that went down the drain once I gained weight and no way in hell i'd attempt it now getting closer to 30

I could math the heck out of some numbers as a kid and into my teens without a calculator like a real asshole and then I graduated and math stopped existing and stuff for the most part.If you asked me to algebra on the spot I might cry.

[The Barber]

Bowling.


When I was younger, I could bowl a game that would make Al Bundy and Roy Munson envious. Now, I'd make Mr. Burns look like Walter Sobchak.

Yes!

Many many years ago I lied to my job telling them I had school on Monday’s so I could get off early. Instead I went home so I could watch Nitro and RAW.

Now? I either skip RAW entirely or 90% of the time it’s guaranteed I’ll fall asleep watching it.

I’m double-jointed in my shoulders, so I could lock my fingers and pull em over my head and freak people out on the regular . Nowadays I wouldn’t dare do it unless I wanted to make an ER visit.

Though not good at basketball by any means, I could jump out of the gym and dunk easily. A multitude of ankle and knee injuries in my late 20s put a stop to that. I can’t go on the court 5 minutes and not have my knees spasm in pain.

In short, getting older reeks.

[the2ndevil]

Being able to function on 2-4 hours of sleep.

God, I really am in my 30s.
