Helllloooooooo fellow humans! (And furry tiny humans) Welcome to the first day of February!
What is one thing you could do easily as a kid but couldn't do now?
Back when we had a swing in one of my old childhood homes, I used to swing as high as possible then at the peak leap from my seat and catapult myself in the air. I'd land on the ground on my feet without much fuss, if with a bit of a thump of pressure. It wasn't a small swing either, my father built it himself with wood so it was quite tall. So to a kid the trajectory was quite something.
I was also a bit of a tree climber, climbing the tallest trees to the very top ~Much to my mother's dismay~ had no problem getting up and getting back down. (Granted, I am aware now that in both situations I was lucky that no injuries and/or getting stuck happened! Regardless of apparent skill) I haven't tried since my childhood but again, likely something I can't replicate nowadays unless it was an emergency perhaps for whatever reason.
