I was 4. I loved the monkeys. I still love the monkeys.

I was eleven, and I used erasable ink for a few years, just to be sure I was ready!

Never had one. Never will. The liars, cheats and crooks from Party A, or the liars, cheats and crooks from Party B? Thanks, I think I'll pass.

Not sure what baby teeth have to do with drinking coffee...

I was 4. My dad would put a little in a cup and fill it with milk and sugar. It tasted like happy. My mom always said it would stunt my growth. I'm 4'10... I'd hate it if she was right. :lol:

I was in 6th grade when I knew I loved to read.

How old were you when you used your first pair of real scissors instead of the safety kind?

I love that sentence! "It tasted like happy." :-)

When I first used real scissors? Makes me think of that episode of Cheers where Frasier's running around the bar yelling, "Look, I'm running with scissors!" HA HA. I think I was five.

How old were you when you first noticed that the moon has a shadowy side when you look at it?
