Five Facts

SweetiePie has invited me to share 5 facts about my self.

1. I am male.
2. My first name is Richard
3. I am 42
4. I am married
5. I have two children

Ok, maybe that is a little too factual and not sufficiently revealing. So the question becomes one of, "Do I recycle old tidbits of information from my blog? Or do I give you fresh pieces of information?"

Since I want to encourage people to read this blog, I prefer not to give out previously revealed information. On the other hand, I also don't want to give identity thieves too much personal information. Oh! The dilemma, the dilemma.

1. I am sinister (in Latin nominative).
2. My hair is naturally curly (and increasingly grey).
3. I cannot read Oscar Wilde's The Happy Prince or The Selfish Giant without crying. Actually, I cannot even finish them. These are the only two stories that affect me so and I unable to share them with my kids.
4. When I was much younger, I didn't quite understand the movie classification system. I thought G meant Good, PG meant Pretty Good and R meant Rotten.
5. When I was 7 years old, I read a book called, A Doctor Explains Pregnancy to an Eight Year Old. I felt very grown up reading a book targeted for older kids. My mother gave me this book because she was getting tired of trying to field my questions about pregnancy. What I took away most from the book was that cows and humans gestate for about 9 months, whales gestate for about 13 months, and mice gestate for 21 days.
