62. hehe Yeah, I brought it up to others
And all I got was a kind of blank stare. One person said "Green is green. Are you saying it's a different color?" I was the kind of kid that gave everyone fits. I always asked "those" questions. I've always wondered things that no one could seem to answer.

My father said he knew my religious training was "going to hell" when I was six and came home from Sunday School and asked: "If Cain and Abel and Adam and Eve were the only people on Earth. And Cain killed Abel and then ran off and married "the daughters of man", who did he marry? Did he marry his mother?" The whole Bible thing didn't really seem logical to me, although I tried SO hard to be a "good" Christian.

Until I met my husband, most people considered me weird. I read a lot of books and spent most of my time in the library. I was always questioning things. For example, we all see things upside down, but since we've spent our whole life seeing things upside down, we are used to it. But...What would life have been like if we saw it all correctly and it was upside down.

What would your living room look like if all the furniture was on the ceiling and we walked upside down. How would you avoid the fan in the middle of the room. If things were like that from the time we were babies, would we even notice the fan upside down in the middle of our living room.

And on and on.. see, weird questions that have no answers and usually make people look at you like "WHAT? Who cares?"

My husband and I are best friends, as well as spouses. HE got it the first time I asked and said "You know, I've always wondered the same thing!" I think I just stared at him with my mouth open.

Great to meet you to. I just NEVER thought anyone else thought about things like that except for he and I.
