I believe it might have been my skills that caused the problem

I will convince you she wasn't worth it

No convincing needed...the 'Bon Bons' have beat you to it.

I believe 6 might be the one....to long ago..time fades.

Pre-school, age 3. Didn't like it at all, the other kids was shouting and throwing water colour at each other. My biggest interest was reading - I had recently learned how to read and I thought messing with water colour was very primitive

Always the intellectual, eh?

Were you reading war and peace?

No, I wasn't that intellectual

I read about the universe, (my grand uncle was a physicist) how start and planets came to be, our solar system etc...Mundane stuff

I didn't read War & Peace until I was 10 or 11

EDIT: Just a note: It's not that unusual that kids learn to read at age 3 - according to many brain researchers, it's the optimal age to learn how to read in, since the brain undergoes a very dynamic period at precisly this time.

I suppose Socrates came at 12?

Ugh... I'm trying to read War & Peace right now... I think it's frying my brain.

You know me just too well

I started reading Plato (who wrote about Socrates) at age 12. I also started to get very interested in boys

You mean by it's slowness

It's a great piece. But personally I always found Tolstoy a bit slow.

Well, I've read the first pages and put it down... On the upside, my insomnia is gone!

Sort of. Transformers can transform themselves to different state, yes? An allegory can be made to Plato's different states of reality

Another classic that cured my teenage insomnia was "Remembrance of things past" by Proust.

Wait til you come to university...oh, I never slept so well as I used to do to the student litt...

Memories of cerulean crayons and lumpy paste flow forth....
