When did you find out?
This can be anything and preferably before you were out on your own but you don't have to have been a little kid.
Here's my example:
I came across one of those keychains you'd get at amusement parks back in the day where they'd take your pic as you came in for the day all full of hope and money. You look through the little hole and see your picture negative in the back.

Well, the one I found was me with four friends (one I have no clue who she was) and it reminded me that before we left for the day, we did one of those star trax deals where you record a popular song to the original music and they give you a cassette for like $30. I sang lead on The Flame by Cheap Trick. That was the day I found out I was tone deaf and after listening to it in the car, I pulled the tape from the spool and said "we never speak of this again."

I believe I was 8 or 9 years old out in California at Knott's Berry Farm and enjoying those cars that you "drive" (open, old fashioned-looking cars). I remember being so proud of myself because I was actually driving and I was sitting up tall and proud with a big smile on my face...only to discover that the cars were on a rail, therefore you couldn't have veered off if you tried. To this day I can remember feeling so deflated when I realized the car was on a track, that I sat there slumped in the driver's seat and didn't even keep my hands on the wheel at that point. It ruined my whole day after that.
ReplyDeleteI used to listen to this one DJ as a kid, I was maybe 7 or 8, and I had a small radio that had a speaker that sometimes would go bad at the most inopportune times. One day out of the blue I decided to just take the thing apart and see if I could fix it. I didn't fix it... but I also didn't totally break it. I put it all back together and it still worked, I just didn't know that the speaker needed a new solder and I was too young to realize that yet. But what I did realize was that I was not afraid to jump into anything electronic and see what I could do with it. That serves me well to this day.
