Well, it was a nice but crowded childhood. Eldest of 7 makes it that way! And we had lots of books. Books, and yard, almost a quarter mile of it, and wooded, at the house I lived in for a long while...

Maybe your theory about childhood is right, but that doesn't explain my mom, since she had a pretty lousy one but turned out ok in the end.

"theory about childhood "

Well, who knows, really. I'd like to think that well adjusted and reasonable people would be conservative.

I was always an avid reader, also... so is my son. My daughter, not so much, but she makes up for it with an outgoing personality.

Eldest of seven!
