Top 3 Things I cannot do and want to be able to do

I have this itch (no, I’m clean, don’t worry) to be able to do certain things. I’m incapable of doing these things for various reasons. Some of them due to physical set backs. Some due to lack of practice. Some frankly, I don’t know why I can do them.

Here is that top 5 of things I cannot do but sure want to be able to:

1) I cannot rolls my “r’s” in Spanish. In Spain when I studied abroad this caused issues. I was looked down upon. Egged and spit on from time to time by the locals. (Ok, I exaggerated a bit). All in all, I felt like a disappointment to Paco and Paquita (the lovely elderly couple whom I lived with in my homestay).

2) I cannot whistle. Pops has tried to teach me but for some reason my mouth, tongue just don’t get it. Does this mean, I’m a little special? Maybe. A whistle from time to time would come in handy many for humming tunes. Whistling at females would really be something I would use this talent for. Actually, I can neither confirm nor deny that, but am confident I wouldn’t overuse or abuse this newly found ability.

3) Dunk a basketball. My hands can’t palm a ball, I think this is the only thing holding me back from being able to dunk. I mean it’s probably not that I’m Caucasian, right at 6’0” and have Jewish heritage. No, it’s definitely just the fact that I lack the ability to palm the ball.

White Men Can’t Jump, it’s the truth.
