?
I was expected to behave as an adult.
I cried. Often.
I've always been odd,
but not quite Adams family.
Can't think of anything really wierd -
well, not in the context of what was happening.
I had lots of long words when I was 5, which I thought then was just normal.
I adapted to survive and that made me seem to others abnormally "grown up."
It was actually a side effect of things not right at home.
I wish that was wierd.
But I think unfortunately it's a normal thing for many children,
much more than their parents realise.
When I cried, I did it in secret.
Now I begin to understand you.
Thanks. That is a wonderful discovery.
Will you treat us to some of your special nuances in grammar?
For instance, how a shift of commas
can radically change the meaning of the same words in the same sequence...
disgusting
I kept seeing dumb people
I collected ants from ant nests.. Picked them up with my pointer finger and my thumb.. Never crushed them doing this.. Then i put them into a jar and kept them as pets for a few hours and then when i got bored, let them go.. We used to have the normal little black ants.. larger green Ants. and red Ants and the big bull ants.. I never really feared them.. I guess i was too young to be afraid..
Hey..... :(
Stop dissing my family .. :D lol
I had a lot of quirks and phobias. I remember being scared of everything. I outgrew most of the phobias, but I can't swear that I am not still a little quirky.
Which day?
LOL!

So did I. I cried almost every day. Even during adolescence. It's not common, and yes parents were also children once so they know some things.
