What’s a weird childhood ritual you still do today? -

[Cosmos]

I have a few:

• This is going to sound silly, but every night before I fall asleep I lay in bed and write stories in my head. I’ve been doing it as long as I can remember and the stories have gotten a lot more complex. I’ve built entire worlds in my head. I’ve never put them to paper, probably because I don’t even know where I’d start (and a lot of them are basically glorified fan fiction, lol)
• Having pizza night on Fridays.
• Eating cinnamon rolls and sandwiches from the crust/outsides inwards, saving the middle part for last.

Holy crap, I do this too.
As for me, I still shit my pants.

Apparently it’s pretty common. I just learned they’re called paracosms and tons of people have them. Lots of famous stories began as paracosms that were eventually put to paper.

Thank you for telling me! I always wondered if I was the only one who did it, like you say, they get crazy elaborate. Very interesting...

If I'm getting portions of food, I always like to have an even number

No problem! I think it just goes to show how imaginative and creative we are as a species.

I still drink Hot Chocolate before bed that and every first Sunday of the month. It was something my mom started because she said "it was close enough to going to church."

Nice to know that has a name I just though it was my autism.

Never sleep with your hand of feet hanging off the bed.

Same. I’ve been doing that as a kid because I was traumatized by that urban legend about the serial killer impersonating the dog and licking the person in bed’s hand. Now I just do it because it’s what’s comfortable for me.

When nobody is around I still like to climb stairs on all fours as I did when I was like three

It just feels right

PEOPLE CAN LICK TOO COSMOS

I still run under my blankets after I turn off the lights so the monsters won't get me.

 

[JB 236]

I sometimes still sleep against the wall just incase santa comes back into my room one night and tried to play with my shitpipe again

 

[LinuxVoid]

I like to squeeze the bread on the sandwich, so that it will end up looking more like a pita sandwich, then I like to squeeze it more around the circumference making it circular. Then, if I squeeze it even more, I get a small nutritious ball that was once my sandwich, and I eat it with one bite.

Make Jesus weep three times a day.

 

[LofaSofa]

Pull my foreskin back and put snacks inside for later consumption.

 

[HeraldofNurgle]

I refuse to kill spiders because when I was little my mother told me that spiders can carry wishes with them and they might become true.

It's dumb but my mother was a person that taught me that every life, no matter how small, matters.

It was the scene from Pet Semetary with the kid under the bed with a straight razor for me. Fuck that.

Holy shit I've been doing that since I was like 6 (Although I only do it now when I get depressed) because I couldn't buy a fancy toy I wanted, I just imagined it, I tried to tell one of my friends about the world once when i was like 10 and he just looked at me like I was a fucking schizo.

Does anyone else have like a long family tree/lineage of characters developed and occasionally killed off over time?
