Op, I also didn't pick up on various things as a kid. What I wonder about is what ideas we may have internalized from values from another time period. Interesting topic.

This comment resonates with me, as I read a ton of books my mother brought home after her mother died. So I was reading books from the early 20th century—Two Little Women, Pollyanna, Prudence of the Parsonage, Eight Cousins, Rose in Bloom—and I absorbed those ideals right before I read James Bond books, Rosemary’s Baby, Valley of the Dolls…is it any wonder I am a bit weird?!

Pollyanna was in my 6th grade classroom library, as was Little Women. I read lots of other things from that era, too.

I'm also a weirdo lol.
