Is there anything you know how to do, but don't know how you know it???? Can you fix anything mechanical? Build whatever you want without instructions? Program electrical appliances that baffle others? Predict the future??
A couple threads have made me wonder about this. Sophiecusion's bad day was one. The other was Ady's thread about breastfeeding. I just seem to know how to deal with kids and I always have (though, I've gotten better with age). I've never been a parent (though babysitting, siblings, swimming lessons and now being a nanny obviously counts for something), so how do I know how to parent???
I guess a basic understanding of human behaviour can explain some of the advice I would give when dealing with children, but breastfeeding???? I've never breatfed, but I came up with what I think was a good plan on how to stop. It's kind of weird to me. I just seem to be able to figure out what will and will not work with kids.
Or maybe I'm delusional and my advice isn't worth a dime, I don't know.......
Anyway, I wondered if anyone else had an area of "expertise" where they don't seem to have any actual experience. So, TCS, share your unexplained talents!
