Can’t write in cursive? Can’t drive a stick-shift? Don’t know how to make mac-and-cheese? Fill in the blank: Even though you’re an adult, you can’t ______.

For me, it's change a tire. :ohwell:

    Make my bed every day... it's just going to get messed up again.

    Bake a turkey. I've tried; never gets done right.

    Balance a checkbook. I've never used a checkbook register!

    I know some people who have to balance their checkbooks to the penny every month. I never understood that.

    Tie a shoe that is facing me -- like someone else's shoe. No idea why. Never works. Fatal flaw -- I know.

    As a former kindergarten teacher I totally get this.

    Parallel park. (I haven't done it since my driving test when I was 16.)

    Watch a scary movie if I'm home alone.

    Hmm, let's see:

    I can't parallel park, either. I didn't get my license until I was 45, and I BARELY passed that part. I figured, once I got the license, I'd never have to parallel park again............why torture myself? lol.

    I also can't wrestle alligators. They're just too mean.

    This...I have tried and tried. I know you are just supposed to "Pucker and Blow", but all I get is something that sounds like a wind storm outside. :-(

    can't drive a stick-shift, can't kill a bug or similar gross household chores that involve bugs/cowbwebs (clean the attic/garage corners/crawlspace, etc.), watch scary movies at night.

    I'm impressed at all the people who can't ride bikes. I didn't "learn' til I was 9, never rode again until I bought a bike at age 21, rode it once and sold it on craigslist.:laugh: I've given up.

    Even though I'm an adult, I can't want to do all the things an adult is supposed to do. In fact, I don't want to make my bed, clean my place, accept that I can't play tackle football, shave, show up for work, etc.
