I think part of that boldness -- that "Don't Mess With Me" attitude -- comes from the need to protect the kid (in addition to pride and satisfaction from the huge accomplishment of pushing a whale through a keyhole).

Loved the skydiving story. I'll bet after that you really can do anything! I've always wanted to go hangliding, but as I age, the urge lessens.
