Do you know ,me?

It always amuses me whenever someone says to me, “Oh! I didn’t know you can do that…”

They didn’t know I can write computer programs. They didn’t know I can fix my own motorcycle. They didn’t know I can speak six languages. They didn’t know I can sew. They didn’t know I can make delightful 9-layer tortes. They didn’t know I am an excellent marksman on the gun range. They didn’t know that I draw & paint. They didn’t know I was a black belt before I was 16.

When it comes right down to it, they, apparently, don’t know me at all. If they did, they would be more surprised if I said I didn’t know how to do something.
