What is that thing your Mom or Dad tried teaching you as a kid that you hated yet you ended being good at as an adult?

I remember being annoyed a whole lot being taught how to wash dishes at the sink by my Mom when I was ten. She had her own unique procedure of doing it. Begrudgingly I obeyed but did it exactly my own way when she wasn’t looking.

Years later in college after dinner with friends and I was doing the dishes at the sink I got praised for the way I was doing it. It was my Mom’s.
