What did you learn to do
later than everyone else?

Everybody has one. The thing the rest of the class could do at seven that you only managed at twenty-five, or forty, or last spring.

Riding a bike. Swimming. Driving. Cooking anything that did not come out of a packet. Saying sorry first. Asking for help without apologising for it.

There is usually a small embarrassment attached to it. Underneath that is something better: the day it finally clicked, and the person who did not laugh while you got there.

Late is still learned.

So — what did you learn to do later than everyone else?
