It doesn't matter because you'll find that out when you win

Fascinating - a competition with no competition. Very Zen.

There is nothing wrong with that. Colouring is an activity that can be enjoyed by all age groups.

When I was a young child, there was that time when I didn't have a pink crayon in my crayon set and when I needed to use the pink color while coloring, I was very annoyed and confused because it HAD TO be EXACTLY like it was said - I HAD TO follow the rules concerning the colors I should use. My mom told me than to use the red crayon but no, it had to be pink - and it was soooo annoying that I didn't have a crayon of this very color.

That's classic unreconstructed ASD to be sure. Pity they were crayons and not liquid paints, or you could have mixed red and white. I suppose you could have melted a bit of each crayon and mixed that, but it would have been messy and if you were a young child you might have burned the house down.

Yes, i was maybe just 5 back then. And when I was about 10, I used to change the position of my grandparents' hens on their perches in the henhouse every evening because it was so annoying to me as well that there were hens of different colors sitting on the same perch :evil: So I took the hens that were for example white and I put then on the same perch - there was no disorder caused by the clash of colors in this way, then :) I did the same with dark brown and light brown hens and with the black ones as well - now they sat on the same perches, looking so wonderfully tidy :D

Throughout my whole childhood, I would never EVER hit upon an idea as well to eat a hazel nut before The Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary also known as Our Lady of the Harvest either - mom and gran kept telling me that "na Matki Boskiej Zielnej, orzech jest jak cielny" which, translated from Polish into English, means literally that "On the Our Lady of the Harvest Day, a nut is like pregnant" (the word "cielny" means here "pregnant" but only in reference to a pregnant cow). In othe words, something was going to happen to hazel nuts, making them fit for use - before this very day, there was something wrong with them, they were inedible or something like that.

I once put my pet mice on a little boat and was very annoyed when they jumped overboard and swam to the shore. It seems your hens were more obedient.

I'm not sure what you mean about the walnuts. Do you mean that you never ate one before the special day? The superstition is very interesting. I always wonder where they come from.

No, I never ate those walnuts before that day :D And yes, hens are obedient at this time of day because they are almost completely blind then to the best of my knowledge.
