QotD: Grown-Up Boot Camp
What are three things you want to learn, and three things you can teach others to do?

I really think the title should be something like "The Blind Leading the Blind," but I have to assume that the National Association for the Advancement of the Seeing Impaired would take umbrage, and Vox certainly doesn't need a lawsuit.
Um, anyway--to answer the question:
Three things I want to learn:
- KUNG FU!!!
- How to brew my own beer.
- Que sera.
Three things I can teach others to do:
- Rant and rave. Is that two things?
- Sing every song that has ever appeared in any episode of The Wonder Pets. "What's gonna work? Teamwork. What's gonna work? Teamwork. Lenny, Tuck, and MingMing, too--we're Wonder Pets, and we'll help you!" God help me.
- Speak a good appromixation of American English. Totally lame exhortations to cooperate with team members included.
One thing I failed to teach my son to do today, though at the outset it seemed an easy task, was spread peanut butter evenly and generously on a pine cone (we were making bird feeders--alleged bird feeders). Every time I tried I was met with the very cheerful reply, "Yes, and I can eat the peanut butter"--and he did.

Carlisa: No. He put birdseed on it. There is very little that he won't eat.
Amy: That show is a curse!!! A curse, I tell you!!!
Ohmygod, the Wonder Pets--they haunt my dreams. It was the first show that my son would actually sit still and watch, so naturally I recorded every episode.
