This was pretty much me growing up. The picture has faded a little over the course of decades, but trust me, that was honest to God ginger hair. It wasn't until I was in grade school that I learned being a ginger was supposed to be a bad thing. I know it made me the object of some seriously mean pranks. But I got over it and grew up somewhat normal. Okay, partially normal.Earlier today, a friend posted a topic thread on a writers forum about "what's weird about you" and I realized reading through the thread that I may be more normal than I realized, since everyone has at least one weird thing they say, or do, or think.
Here are my four things:
1) When I was a little girl, people would ask what I wanted to be when I grew up, and I told them a manatee. lol
2) I talk to plants and trees. Just waiting for them to answer back.
3) I love scary movies, even though I watch 80% of them with my hands and fingers laced over my eyes. lol
4.) I can't drink a margarita like a normal person. I have to lick all the salt off the rim first. On the upside, I used to get a lot of dates that way. rofl
