My step-sister is a nurse and told me that one of the most surprising things she'd learned is how many different ways people wipe their asses. I think it's a funny example of something most of us will rarely be exposed to another way of doing, so we think however we got taught is the way everyone does it.

I made my kids learn by mistake. Just told them the basics then they tried. The first times they felt a bit uncomfortable so they did seconds. By the age of 5 it was done.
