Tell me something you wouldn't do as a kid you'd do now, and something you won't do now but did as a

kid.

At almost 50, I will never again roller skate, but I loved it as a kid. These days, I'd just break something.

And as for now, I'll willingly walk into a room of strangers. Still don't like it, but I'll do it. As a kid, not so much.

You can pick the order, and the kind of mushrooms, as you see fit

Also ... define the cutoff age for 'kid'?

But as a kid I would rather do anything other than give a report in front of my class. Now speaking to groups doesn't bother me at all.

As I think about it those are some of the most dangerous things I've ever done in my life.

Do a cartwheel- wouldn’t even attempt it now. I do sort of remember what it felt like, and I always started them on my left hand hand even tho I am right-handed.
