I find it incredibly interesting that people knew the always wanted things like that...a spouse, a grand wedding, children of their own. I don't think I've ever really thought that way about those things.

When I was not an adult I thought I wanted a family. It wasn't until I became an adult and started to interact with children as one that I learned I DID NOT want one. And I've heard all the platitudes.

I wanted to conquer the world like Alexander the Great. I'm not sure why that appealed to me, in retrospect.

(A friend gave me some advice a few years ago. He said "You're much more normal than you like to think. You have normal needs and you will be happy if you live a normal life." I don't know if he's right.)

I dug a giant hole in my back yard and called it a bear trap. Parents were not impressed.

I pretended to be a dinosaur, does that count?

My mom had a fake fur coat and I wore it, pretending to be a bear.
