Were all the bold ones only before you were 12?

I seem to have done most of these before I was 12, and most of them after.

Yes, that's right.

Perhaps having a lot of younger siblings and cousins helped.

I tried to skim stones before and after my 12th birthday, but did not learn how until this millenium.

Oh I did not understand this as I read the sentence differently, I've done a lot of my emboldened ones again since 12 although not many that recently. I did go to a Youth Hostel out in the sticks where everything was done the old-fashioned way the other day though (with Youngest), does that nearly count?

Great meme anyway, food for thought.
