I have no reason to tell anyone the following except
1. I am bored and feel like writing.
2. It takes my mind off things.
3. I seem to be on a bit of a nostalgic trend.
4. I thought about this today. Again, randomly. Well, I did eat Jell-O.
That’s right, you guessed it. Dorky quirks from my childhood.
Dorky Quirk Numero Uno:
You’ve seen Mary Poppins right? (If you haven’t then this next part will just seem gross and weird, if you have…awesome maybe and probably still gross.)
For those who haven’t seen it, a video:
Back to my childhood quirk; whenever I ate Jell-O, I would strain it through my teeth until it was liquid-like and then put it back in my spoon so I could pretend it was medicine from Mary Poppins.
So yeah....that was AWESOME...
Dorky Quirk Numero Dos:
I also used to pretend that Smarties candy were magic pills that gave you abilities, except not like super powers. If I remember correctly it went something like
Red = beauty
Purple = smart
Green = rich
Yellow = kind
White = honesty
Orange = energy or something. I never really favored orange so it didn’t get an awesome power.
Oddly enough I never did this with Skittles or M&M’s. Probably because the powdery quality of the Smarties reminded me of vitamins, except they taste way better.
It should be noted that the effect wasn’t immediate. It was more like “Take your Smarties so you can grow up to be beautifulsmartrichkindhonest and energetic.”
Sometimes, I wish the things I thought up when I was a kid were true.
