I’m not talking about anything like learning a foreign language, playing an instrument, or running a marathon–things requiring countless hours of studying or training.

These would be more of the mundane variety--skip a stone, rub your belly and tap your head at the same time, and of course…ride a bicycle–things that might require some coordination, but can be mastered in a relatively short period of time.

My list could easily go one without much thought, but these five come to mind first…

1. “Roll” my tongue--I could never get those double "r” words down in junior high Spanish class.

2. Juggle–My mom always made it look so easy.

3. Whistle–When I was a kid I could do the fingers-in-the-mouth one, but never the “Just put your lips together and blow.”

4. “Hop” my car–Never could get that rhythm going when I had my “lo-lo” back in the day.

5. Swim…sad, but true–The other four, I could give or take, but swimming is something I definitely would love to be more adept at. I can “backstroke” without any real difficulty, and I’m pretty much okay with some goggles.

That being said--I’ve never been able to tread water, or do the turn your head and breathe-thing. I need to be able to touch the bottom or something after my breath runs out.

So, is there something like that for you–something that it seems everybody can do, except you?
