My Quirks


“What quirks do you claim as your own? Who is the quirkiest person you know? What books, movies, or television shows do you love because the characters are quirky? Are there any you don’t like because the quirkiness is overdone?”

A lot of my quirks are in relation to my husband. We have been married for 36 years so I guess he is used to my quirks.

I like to sleep in bed on my husband’s left side. If I try to sleep on the right side of him, I won’t sleep a wink.

I also like to walk on his left side. If I try to walk on his right side, I feel awkward.

When I eat a plate of food, I like to eat one food at a time instead of having little bits of each item.

When I wake up, I have to brush my teeth before I eat or drink anything.

When I drive anywhere, I always say a prayer that I get to my destination safely.

If we play the lottery, I ask my husband to get the ticket because he is always luckier than I am.

My favorite quirky person is Sheldon on Big Bang Theory. He is different than others and he knows it but he doesn’t apologize for being different.

Explaining these quirks to my students helps them see that we all have quirks and it isn’t always a bad thing. These quirks are what makes us all unique. We should embrace our differences and not make people who are different feel bad.

What are your quirks? Who is your favorite quirky character on TV? Please share.
