Something you know you do differently than most people

All of us have something that we tend to do differently than others, whether it be something we eat, or how we do a regular job. Here are some of the things that we do differently than most people:

Mark—I eat my corn on the cob in neat rows, left to right, and leave the cob squared off, not round. Also, my family tells me that I change the lyrics to all songs.

Betsy—I clean the kitchen backwards. After a meal, I wipe the table, chairs and countertops, and all the appliances; put away all the food, and the very last thing I do is wash the dishes. When I read, I never use a bookmark to mark my place. I just remember where I was, even if I’m reading several books at once. I also use my feet like hands, and am pretty good at picking things up with them.

Bianca—I eat my cranberry sauce separate from my turkey! J And I LOVE to eat chickpeas all by themselves. I take them out of the can, drain and rinse them, and then eat them like popcorn or peanuts. No spices, no nothing, just “naked beans.”

Ben—As mentioned in a previous post, I have to touch everything an even number of times. I also eat the skin on ham.

Rubia—I hold my pencil differently than most people. I cross my thumb over my index finger when I write. But I have nice handwriting!

Roma—I add lots of extra stuff to my checklist every week. I draw pictures, write down other things I did, make lots of notes about things I’m looking forward to doing, and sometimes I do this to other people’s lists too. My Mom would prefer that I just check off what I did.

Josiah—I eat marshmallows every morning when I wake up. I also eat my carrots with mustard on them. And I write with my left hand.

  1. Interesting.

    Bianca- I don't like chickpeas, naked or otherwise. I pick them out of my food.

    Ben-- I don't have to touch things an even number of times, but there are certain textures that I can hardly stand and I hate when fabrics (such as couches or carpets) are pushed in different directions.

    Rubia-- I too hold my pencil the "wrong" way. My mom tried and tried to change that. But, I have good penmanship.

    Roma--I didn't add drawings to my checklists, but I did doodle a lot all through school (including college). I don't doodle much anymore, probably because I'm not just sitting listening to something with a pencil in my hand.

    Josiah-- I don't think I've ever had carrots with mustard. Are the carrots raw or cooked?

  2. I eat my carrots raw, Amy. They taste good with mustard!
