Unusual Talent Contest Winner!

phoenixwren (65)in #contest • 6 years ago

We have a winner of the Unusual Talent Contest, proving that sometimes, we don't recognize our own talents as talents until others point them out to us!

@ecoinstant wins two shares of @steembasicincome for his talent of ~~child whispering~~ knowing how to talk to kids!

That is, you'll realize as you read his post, a rather rare talent! Many, many adults dismiss kids and tell them lies (think Santa), condescend to them, ignore them, think that "children should be seen and not heard," ...you know how it is. It takes someone special to really know how to talk - and listen! - to kids, and @ecoinstant was made aware of his unusual talent when other people commented on it!

Thanks for entering and for sharing with us your awesome talent! 😊

Thanks for bending the rules a few minutes for me ;p

I did everything I could to make people aware of this one. I shared it, I resteemed it, I even sent people to it. Not sure what it takes these days; I consider two shares to be like double prizes!

Perhaps no one wants to be considered unusual, but surely that's just lack of imagination. It took me a few days too, and what really made people ooh and ahh was racing sticks under a bridge. If there had been no bridge and we had played another game, would I even have entered?

The child whisperer strikes again!

(see what I mean about phrasing?)

How do you do that strikeout text?

Blessings!

LOL, I appreciate you sharing it around so much! I'm not sure what it takes these days, either; I guess I make unusual contests. ;)
Strikeout is putting ~~ on either side of what you want to cross out. Two on each side.
