When I learned to read I insisted on reading newspapers and not "stupid kids things".

In about 4th grade i found a book about Hiroshima and read it. Then I hoped that we would learn about nuclear weapons in physics (when I discovered, it is not part the curriculum, I forsaken the subject and later on went study International relations, where we learned a lot about nuclear weapons. My inner child was satisfied!)

I was weird in other ways. Introverted and bit dark (which is apparently a sin, because children are supposed to be giggly and be friends with everybody of their age, even if they are stupid and boring and being alone is much more... fullfilling).
