How old were you?

Post by Zoe303 »

In this game the first player answers a question of how old they were when they did something and then they post a question for the next player and so on.

Enjoy! :D

Here we go:

I was 13 when I learned to ride a bike, which is embarrassingly old.

How old were you when read your first book alone?

Oh, my. Hate to say it, but I never learned to ride a bike. Tried and tried over the years, but I have a balance problem, so no bike, no ice skates, no skis. Dance too fast, and flat on my *ss! It's a horrid handicap, but at least I'm upright most of the time, walking without bumping into walls.
Here's my question:
How old were you when you traveled somewhere on a plane, train, bus all by yourself?

The first travel experience I can recall that was not by car would have been age 9 when my grandpa died went on a plane.

I was 13 years old, and it was The Rain Man! I was hanging out with some super-cool classmates of mine--you know the type--they had flippy blond hair and wore cool clothes and had names like Paige, etc. We were teamed together for Pioneer Day, and I couldn't believe that they were showing me an R movie and being so nice to me. (I went to school with a whole bunch of nice kids.)

How old were you when you first... had to move to a new house with your parents, or whatever? (apartment, etc.)
