What are you doing today for the first time?

Chris Evans often asks a brilliant question on the BB2 Radio Breakfast show, ‘What are you doing for the first time today?’ In it, he invites a young child to call in the show to tell him just that, then the following day the child calls back to tell the nation of his or her experience and to rate it out of ten. The experiences are always interesting; whether it’s a first visit on a school trip or a holiday to the seaside; and with the help of a listening parent, Chris tries to get as much information out of them as he can and turns even the dullest event into an interesting one. Lately though, I think the whole feature would be a lot more interesting if Evans was to ask adults what they were doing for the first time today. I think we would get a lot more idiot stories about the improper way to do things rather than focusing on first time experiences that the rest of us would treat as mundane.
