I didn't eat any weird objects, but I was definitely strange in other ways.
I learned to read very early so by the age of 8 or so, I became obsessed with reading the medical dictionary. My parents probably really shouldn't have allowed that because it definitely fueled my anxiety as a child, but it was so damn interesting. I was also obsessed with reading this book of home remedies that my mom had. Not that we ever used any of the remedies... I just loved reading about them.
When I was really young, I loved game shows, especially The Price is Right. In my house, there was this really tall cabinet in the kitchen for snacks and stuff. It almost went up to the ceiling. I would pretent that the Big Wheel was on the side of that cabinet and I would "spin" it constantly. Hahahaha
I remember one incident in which I placed a bunch of bananas on my head, and wore a bunch of beads around my neck, and came dancing into the living room singing, "CHIQUITA BANANA!!!'
I was also into gymnastics so I was constantly flipping around my house-- doing cartwheels through the living room, flipping off of my parents bed in order to perfect my dismount.
Okay, yeah... so I was a little peculiar.
