What do you know the most about?

[Liisi]

I'm not very social - in large groups of people, I usually wish I could go read a book by myself in the corner. My 6-year-old niece, on the other hand, likes to go from person to person and pose an interesting, thought-provoking question.

So, I ask you one of hers: What do you know the most about? She says you can only say one or two things, but I say you can give up to 5 answers.

My answer:

1. Myself (I mean, since I've lived with myself my whole life)
2. Love
3. Caring for children
4. Reading and writing

My mom's answer: growing things. My dad's answer: chiropractic, tennis, and nutrition. My SO didn't answer, but my answer for her would be: connecting with diverse people, medicine, adapting to diverse environments, and teaching.

1. DS1
2. DD1
3. DD2
4. DS2
5.I am one of those that's often described as knowing something about a lot of varying things. What I'd give to be a true expert on something!! However, this has made it easy for me to connect & contribute to all sorts of fascinating discussions/conversations. Not so much on line, but in IRL! I loathe typing

2. DH

3. Biotech/pharmaceuticals (it's boring but I've done it for 7 years)
4. Novice/slow marathon training
5. Traveling/living in E Africa (compared to most Americans, clearly not more than someone born there)

Hmm. . . I'll have to give that some more thought. I'll probably have to come back to edit my response but off the top of my head:

1. My children, but not parenting. I'm just muddling my way through like everyone else.
2. Reform Judiasm and my family geneology
3. real estate law.
4. My mother
5. Jewelry and the business of making, buying and selling jewelry

Hmmm, it's always been my experience that the more I learn about something the more I realize how little about that topic I actually know, lol. But I do know my kiddos and husband better than anyone else.

[mommax3]

1. DH
2. My three boys
3. How to teach someone to sing
4. How to speak to/teach groups of middle-school kids
5. How to live life with (or in spite of) DH's schedule without being bitter about it!

[SoonerTexan]

1. I guess I need to include my family, I have known DH side we were 16
2. Catholicism, though I'm no expert
3. Severe weather, but no expert
4. NFP. Again no expert but I want to get certified and teach someday. For now I'll stick to grassroots awareness
5. European history with a focus on the Reformation. That was my fun degree in college

Fun question!

Nonverbal communication -- Being very hard of hearing means I "read" body language to help add context to what little I hear. I can spot a liar a mile away because their body language disagrees with whatever is coming out of their mouth.

Am I really the only one who feels like she knows a whole lot about nothing? I don't even know myself that well!

Hi! You're not alone I feel like I am an expert on DH though!

[L.Jane]

Am I really the only one who feels like she knows a whole lot about nothing? I don't even know myself that well!

Nope... I feel like this all the time and thus hadn't responded to this thread. This is actually the one thing that I really don't like about myself, that I really feel I don't have something that I am an "expert" at or extremely knowledgeable about.

[corn poffi]

Whew, I was starting to worry! We can all be "experts of not being experts".
