I never learned to tie my shoelaces “properly”, with the going-around-and-through bit. I made a simple knot, and then made two loops and made a simple knot again with the loops. And if I wanted a double knot, I just did that yet again.
And that, to this day, is how I tie my shoelaces… 🙂
Some of those poems are cute, though. Now I want to learn them just ‘cuz they’re cute… ^_^;;
