When you have a baby come along you figure out that you're about to get a crash course in all things parenting. This is true. And to someone without kids you compose a mental list of things you're going to get experience in: changing diapers, comforting a baby / child, grocery shopping on little sleep, etc. However there are things that I didn't expect to get a lot of experience in, let alone become comfortably good at (if I do say so myself).
One example is microwaving tiny amounts of food to warm it up, but not too much. Yes, I'll admit that sometimes I goof, but I feel a lot of time I get it right. It takes a bunch of practice to see some food and based on estimated water content, initial temperature, density, plate type and temp, etc determine if you should microwave it for 10 second or 15. Right now I have a lot of experience with microwaving things for fractions of a minute.
It makes sense, but if you asked me two years ago it wouldn't have been something that I expected to be doing a lot.
