When I first started trying to walk I wasn't very good at it. I could crawl and stand up, but when I would try to walk I would fall over. It wasn't until I practiced more that I was able to walk well. Does anyone else have a similar experience? I wasn't an expert walker until I walked about 50 feet.

I was always walking above my age. I was running marathons at 6 months. Of course, by the time I got to pre-school, the teachers always wanted us to walk places I didn't want to go, so I lost interest in it, and stopped walking until I was free to walk where I wanted. Those teachers just couldn't understand that I walked for the enjoyment of it, not to get to the places they wanted me to go.

I was actually pretty good at it early on. However, my sister was a bit of a wimp. She fell once, and it took her a couple of months before she would walk again.
Of course if I had been smarter, I would have put off walking a while longer. If people are willing to carry you around everywhere, you might as well milk it for as long as possible.

What do you mean "when they first started?" I'm turning 30 and I'm still not that great at walking. I spend a surprising amount of walking time prone on the pavement.

I never learned to walk too good because there's a nerdy stigma attached to it. I'd rather watch the same junky TV shows over and over than go for a really good walk.

Although. True story. I was on my high school's walking team for two years in a row. I was the self-declared co-captain. However my third year I was medically disqualified. I've been declared medically unfit to walk I suppose then.

As a zygote, not yet formed into a human fetus by the aging process, I have nevertheless figured out how to transfer my very advanced brain patterns into what you humans call writing. As such I can tell you that if I had appendages distinguishable from a small cluster of cells, I too would be ready and willing to walk at the first opportunity.
