Weird Things
Back in December of 2005, I posted a list of Five Weird Things that my kids did.
Here it is again:
1. My daughter makes nests. She piles things up in the corner of her room, or the middle of the hallway, or behind the couch. Sometimes it will be a free-standing jumble of dolls, other times she'll stash food away under her bed. I'm constantly finding strange little collections of things around the house.
2. My son will only wear socks with the Nike swoosh on them.
3. My daughter likes to watch TV upside down.
4. My son frequently laughs like this: "Yuck yuck yuck!" He must've learned that from some cartoon character. I hope he outgrows it. We are not a hillbilly family, contrary to popular belief.
5. Every now and then, my daughter will decide she is a Cat For The Day and wants to eat out of bowls on the floor, clean herself by licking her hands, and rub against our legs until we scratch behind her ears. Thank goodness she doesn't want to use the litterbox!
Three years later, my daughter still likes to make nests, while my son still prefers Nike socks over any other brand. The other three things are long gone, to be replaced by all new "weird things" which I no longer worry about (much) because I know the kids will outgrow most of them in a few years time.

To this day (she's been doing it for years) Zoe will gallop around the house on her hands and feet like some ferel kid. Almost prefers it to walking.
Weird? I thought it was normal.
My daughter makes nests and acts like a cat. Seriously. We have the same child just a few years apart. (Her relative also acted like a cat and often went to the water bowl. She even would try to eat real cat food in real cat bowl. Fortunately, we don't have a cat yet.)
Big, open mouth kisses!
I don't know about that. I have come across some pretty weird people and I think they were born like that. Anyways my little girl likes everything in sight, but I think that is somewhat normal for a 7 month old, isn't it?
Your kids aren't weird... they're unique!
And have you ever watched TV upside down yourself? It's actually pretty intriguing.
My girls do the cat thing off an on. Drives me crazy when I want to talk to them and they just meow at me.
Em's has major sock and underwear issues. Must have to find seamless toe for her because that little line drives her CRAZY. And she has to wear giant granny panties. She's seven and I tried to buy her some cool bikini's but she insists on Hanes High Rise, one size too big.
