Oh, and it wasn't a life skill exactly, but knowing how to pull together a MASH game or an origami fortune teller was vital in predicting if you would marry someone hot or live in a shack.

My friend was briefly elevated to goddess status when she showed her nine year old daughter how to make them. Her daughter showed all of her friends at her sleepover that night this "cool old game."

I think you put this in the wrong thread. This is the thread of things you don't actually need to know how to do.
I got 30 minutes of tv a day as a kid. I would spend hours with the tv guide each Sunday picking my shows for the week. Apparently that was also my brother's main motivation for learning to read since he figured out that I didn't tell him about any shows I thought were lame.
This is awesome. I feel like our kids aren't going to know the sweet anticipation of waiting for your show to come on (or waiting your turn to watch your show), or waiting for your song to come on the radio so you can record it. At the same time, I enjoy being in control of recording and doling out TV programs and music at my own discretion.
Oh yeah. Also, L is so flummoxed by "commercinals." Why is there more than one. What they're there for. Who watches them. Why they take soooooooo long.
Eta: I will add a new skill. Developing a sixth sense for how long you have during a commercial to go to the bathroom, get a snack, get changed, make out, etc.

LOL. I was so desperate to hear a song I really liked (OMG, it was "All I Need" by JACK WAGNER, PEOPLE!!) that I called the radio station and asked them to play it to Rob from UWR.
I was not dating and did not know a Rob. I had to improvise a bit because they asked me a few questions about this fictional Rob. I kind of got into talking about just how awesome Rob was.
Only the Olds will remember learning how to run across the house in 2 seconds flat to answer the phone in case a boy called.
Poor Dads today will never get the satisfaction of grilling some poor boy on the phone. My Dad used to ask them who they were, what they wanted, who his parents were and then after all that, he would still tell the boy that I wasn't allowed to talk to boys on the phone and I wanted to diiiiieeeeee.

This isn't a Canadian song is it?
She asked her mother, mother, mother For fifty cents, cents, cents To see the elephants, elephants, elephants Jump over the fence, fence, fence They jumped so high, high, high They touched the sky, sky, sky And didn't come back, back, back Till the fourth of July, July, July

When we watch live tv my D can't understand why we cannot skip the commercials.
I still write so many cheques, lol. School activities, daycare activities, piano lessons, some of my home service providers that are older, like our alarm company, land care, they are not set up for e-payments so cheques are the simplest thing.

I haven't written a check in over five years. If I can't pay with my debit card or cash, I probably won't use that service/buy the product.
I had to teach my brother and sister how to roll down a window, and it was only necessary for them to know in that one car. I doubt it will ever be necessary again now that we don't have that car.
