You say that like it's a bad thing...

When I was a kid I used to think it was so weird that all these married couples in old TV shows were always sleeping in twin beds, especially on I Love Lucy, because I knew they were married IRL.
I was no kid but I used to be in weight watchers and I had a terrible experience there, I'm never going back.
When I was a kid I was misdiagnosed as being allergic to damn near everything (I actually only have a couple of allergies)

[conuly]

You were misdiagnosed how? By your parents or by a regular pediatrician or by an allergy test?

I ask just out of perverse curiosity, you don't have to answer, though I'll point out that while allergies can appear or worsen at any time, they can also disappear or ease at any time - particularly childhood allergies, and no I don't know why.

[greghousesgf]

an allergy test that was screwed up. Also, I should have been more specific about my age. I was in high school and I didn't have allergic reactions, my parents just got it into their heads that I might have been one of those kids who is allergic to everything because my Asperger's hadn't been diagnosed and they didn't want to think about the possibility that maybe they made a crazy kid.

I've learnt a lot today now! :)

I want a tail. O_O

[conuly]

The way people freak out over backpacks, nobody's gonna appreciate the folks with the tails.

I know I'd have to take it off in the car, but I really wanna tail.
