What childhood "phases" did you never grow out of?
Edited on Mon Mar-16-09 11:09 PM by Godhumor
Phases in quotes, because, obviously, you can't call it a phase if it has become a permanent fixture of your life.

For me, I am still a night person. My mother was so certain that my habit of staying up extremely late, regardless of when I had to wake up, would abate in high school...later in college...then in grad school...then as a teacher...

I'm 32, and I don't think my mother has ever completely accepted the fact that I have always thought midnight was a perfectly reasonable time to start working on a paper or grading homework. She was certain that after years of 5 or 6 hours of sleep per night during the week I would finally just say "no more" and start going to bed at normal times. I'm simply not wired that way.

2. My grandpa cooked eggs for breakfast. He always ate the whites, I ate the yolks.
I still never eat the whites.

3. Total passion for motorcycles

Still speaks directly to the brain's pleasure center.
