Hey this inner child thing is very interesting. I know there's a picture of me at about ten years old that comes to mind, buck teeth, baseball cap, white t-shirt, converse tennis shoes, blue jean cuffs rolled up. I was the sixth child, right behind twin boys. I had a real good childhood, grew up on a farm. Mostly wore hand me downs but that did'nt bother me. But I think I grew up fiercely independent. Always had trouble getting close to people.
I'm a bit of a loner, I can spend a lot of time alone and it does'nt bother me, I actually enjoy it. Sometimes I wonder if I laid in the crib, or in a playpen alone alot. Seems logical as my mother would have been very busy with the rest of the family. They always said I was one of the easiest babies. I probably just laid there quiet, thinking about life as a 6 month old. Dad did'nt help out much around the house. In fact he was high pressure so when he came home, I usually tried to find somewhere else to go. That was easy to do living on a farm.
Anyway did'nt mean to hijack but it's an interesting topic.
THanks,
COG
