    what children story did you have read to you all the time, and do you now kind of resemble any of the characters?

    Just curious, because I've been reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland again, and that's the story that I had to have my mom read to me every night for like 2 years. And my fiance' and I were reading it together and he was like, you kind of resemble Alice. And I might have taken offense to that if it wasn't so true. I kind of do scold myself and have conversations with myself more often than I should like Alice. And I kind of have that random, but literal take on things like her.

    But then, he was always read Dr. Suess books, and he does have a very Dr. Suess like personality. Very random, but still makes sense kinda, etc.

    So does this hold true for anyone else? Just curious and seems like a fun thing to read about.
