[Today Albert is in the sitting room of his house, leafing through a few books idly. The weather is disappointingly rainy for summer, but it's a pleasant change from the heat earlier in the week ( Read more... )

You know, 'mundane' could probably vary from world to world, too.

[Which doesn't quite answer the question. Hmm...]

I helped with my first harvest when I was seven.

What others consider mundane in their worlds can actually be intriguing in itself.

[A harvest as a child... It's been a long time since they've spoken about it, but...] Harvesting mikan?

True.

[He remembered.]

That's right. Though I suppose all I really did was hold a basket. I was too short to get the ones higher up on the trees.

[At the age of seven... Yes, quite young.] When were you allowed to start climbing the trees?

My dad told me I was the best boomerang slinger in the whole village when I was ten. [Or was it that he would be? Eh. Distinctions.]

chikaidestroyer July 9 2010, 19:06:37 UTC

Quite a feat at such a young age. Does everyone in your village use boomerangs?

markofthewise July 9 2010, 19:41:28 UTC

It's a pretty common weapon. Not everyone uses them, but we're all trained to use them.

chikaidestroyer July 9 2010, 19:56:59 UTC

And you were already the best at that age. [Well. If his father wasn't just stroking his ego.] That would be an even greater feat in heavy winds.

I ate twelve quiches at one sitting, and didn't puke.

A food contest?

I once fixed up some motorcycles for a pretty girl.

chikaidestroyer July 9 2010, 19:37:59 UTC

Helping a friend indulging in a hobby? Or a random passerby?

Hearing my daughter saying 'daddy' for the first time.

chikaidestroyer July 9 2010, 19:45:38 UTC

Another's accomplishment that makes you feel accomplished. Did you teach her yourself?

hippocraticly July 9 2010, 19:55:27 UTC

Yeah, that's right. Whenever I had a free moment, I'd always talk to her.

chikaidestroyer July 9 2010, 20:04:05 UTC

Then you must be especially proud. It can be difficult balancing a family life with a professional career.
