I had to learn how to write cursive, a check and balance a checkbook in elementary school. Then proceeded to never need to write a check in my life lol. The few times I've needed a check I just get a cashier's check and that's it.

Fancy cutlery. More than one set of cutlery and dishes. Cutlery and dishes specific to types of food. Rugs. Drapes. Wallpaper. Doilies.

Some of these may be more of a class than age thing but I've always associated them with incomprehensibly overcomplicated clutter that old people liked to surround themselves with.

At the beginning of the GMAT you have to copy an entire “I promise I’m not cheating” paragraph in cursive, it was seriously like the hardest part of the test lol

just get one of those endangered bird egg spoon sets on temu. They're color coded by size so it's easy to find one that fits a sparrow or a hummingbird.

I still remember 2nd grade where they taught us cursive.. one of the required school stores we needed to bring was 3 "Big chief" tablets yellow paper with 3 lines so you could learn how to write at 2 different heights to learn capital vs lower case cursive.

It was like 3 months 30 minutes a day it was probably worth learning.

The paper tablet notebooks were pretty racist .. but I didn't learn until I got the woke virus from the vaccine

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
That does sound good. I'll also have a frosty
