Random core memory: at around 12-13, I loved to bake, and had been perfecting my yolk-separating. I became determined to have the least amount of white on the yolk. Eventually I did this with a yolk and ended up with so little white that I was able to pat it down with a paper towel and then hold it in my hand, and it felt totally dry. Just like a very, very thin bag containing liquid.

And then once I achieved that which I had once thought impossible, it was just like, ok, that was pointless lol
