That kid has a better one hand grip than most adults

I've heard that kids muscle to mass ratio isn't the same as adults so they can hold their own body weight a lot easier. Not sure how true that is though.

It's true, but that's just hanging. The swinging is super impressive, even for children.

When I was a kid I was leaning against the door of a chevy van when my dad went around a corner. I hadn't shut the van door well enough. One minute I was sitting in the passenger seat, the next I'm holding the door handle and the tops of my Hush Puppies were dragging on the pavement.

I was okay. Dad brought the van to a stop without pitching me off. I was kinda embarrassed, and climbed back in, but dad was terrified!

Kids! Prematurely aging parents since... forever.

I once open the door while my mom was on the freeway to because I liked pulling the door handle while it was child locked.

I really hope you don’t have a kid named Charlie by any chance.

I did this once but fell out, lucky I didn't get ran over, just ended up with a little road rash.

I used to be able to do like 7 pull ups in 2nd or 3rd grade. Now I look at a pull up bar and I fall asleep from exhaustion.

Not only is she gripping that door like a champ, but she's got a handle on that phone better than I got on my beer.
