Things that happen in childhood can affect us throughout life, whether minor or profound, positive or negative.  Sometimes these things can cause issues later in life, especially if they've been repressed.  Or maybe they manifest as quirky habits.  In my family, we don't say "cheeeeessseeee" when we have our pictures taken; we say "fuzzy pickle".  Don't ask me how or why that started, but it's something we still do.  I'm almost obsessive about being on time.  My grandma insisted on being twenty minutes early to everything.  I'm not quite that bad, but I had a friend once joke that if I said I was going to be there at a certain time, she could look out the window at that exact time and I would be in the driveway without fail.  I also have some quirks that are born out of childhood trauma, but I won't go into detail about those.  I'll just say that my reactions to certain things are sometimes misconstrued, and it's caused me issues at times.  Childhood incidents can be a great way to flesh out our characters' personalities and give them some unique quirks.  So, let's go back in time and do some exploring.
