Heh you never saw me as a kid.  I was a total clean freak.  I couldn't 
stand it on pizza day because pizza was great but I also had to watch 
all these kids with pizza sauce on their faces who never would use a 
napkin.  I hated mud... and I was a constant video game leech because my 
parents wouldn't buy me one until way later... so I'd always want to go 
over to my friend's house... not because I wanted to hang out with them, 
but because of their Atari... later... Coleco Vision...later Nintendo.  
Yes I was a bizarre child... I used to take personal offense as a 5-7 
year old when I saw kids my age doing stupid things on TV or anywhere.  
I viewed myself as a little adult...so when I saw poison control 
commercials with stupid kids putting everything in their mouths I was 
like DURR!... how dumb do you have to be to do that?  It didn't help 
that I only wanted to hang out with adults :-).
