My parents used to tell me to be quiet all the time. They believe that talk in cheap, and unless there's a real need to say something, silence is best. In other words, "silence is golden" was one of their life philosophies. So until age 5, I used to believe that "B. Quiet" [be quiet] was my name, because my parents said to me so often. (However, I also responded to my real name). Even after I cleared up that confusion, "be quiet" was one of the phrases I heard the most. Needless to say, I became very addicted to chat rooms when I first got access to the internet, because that was one of the few places where people were willing to have an actual conversation with me.
