I could bend my thumb back to my wrist when I was a child, I remember taking great pride in freaking other people out. By the way, can't do it now. Can any of you do things that not everyone can do?

To show what he did as a child, what it was like when he was kid. To explain his childhood to people but not just a bunch of facts written down on pieces of paper, but in a story that drives you into the story about him and his life.

Deletemaybe he is like that.
DeleteAre there areas of your life that you try to be perfect? Are there things that seem to balance on you being your best or perfect?
DeleteI really work hard at drawing my horses. Every year they change and every year I think they are perfect, but as years go by my horses get better then the last ones and my viewings of them being perfect changed.
DeleteDuring cello shows and singing shows, I really want to be perfect, I try, but I always have one thing that I wish I could change in the end.

DeleteMaybe he wrote it because he wanted to share what his life was like.
