I was just realizing the other day how many wierd and random little things I do or say are from random childhood moments: some make me laugh, some psyche me out, and some just make me cry...but all interesting nonetheless.
I noticed that I shake water off of me after swimming before I dry off with a towel...why? I recall an experience from childhood when my family went to our notorious spot at Bear Lake. I got out of the lake, and shivering in my little 5-year-old skin, asked my dad for a towel. His response was, "just shake it off!" and I did!!!! Crazy how that has stuck with me.
Another thing that has stuck with me is snuggling. Everyone knows I grew up in a large family, so I never had a room (or a bed for that matter) to myself. Now, I seriously sleep with pillows surrounding my entire body...I'm not comfortable unless I am all snuggled up. If Jason's not right next to me, then a pillow is. Although, pillows are a nice replacement for the bumbs that once surrounded me from childhood years. Anyone who knows me or my family can just laugh at that one!
I would love to hear what has stuck with you! Hopefully I'm not the only crazy one.

Chels; I have a funny one. Every time I brush my hair, I hold my forehead with the hand that's not holding the brush. I think it's so weird that I do it, and I finally realized that it's because when I was a kid my mom would brush my hair really hard and had no mercy to how hard it hurt. But if I held my head then it would support it and it wouldn't pull as much or hurt as much. So now I just do it.
I have a funny one. When I was a kid my mom had no mercy to how tough she was when she'd brush my hair. Because it hurt so bad I would hold my forehead with my hand so that it gave my head some support and wouldn't hurt as bad. So now when I brush my hair I hold my forehand with the hand that's not holding the brush, even though it doesn't hurt anymore. It's completely habitual.
