Sarah Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 So the barracks I got have a bad silicon job - panels of the sections are falling off completely, so needs to be re-siliconed. So dad didn't have any aquarium-safe silicon, so we went and got some. The guy at the store goes to me, "so you have fish yes?" Without going into much detail, I told him of the animals I did own. He then said, "gee, you couldn't be a normal child and have a dog or something could you?" I told him I also had a dog, infact we had two. So there we have it, I'm not normal.. and I guess if you're reading this on a fish forum you guys aren't either. Made me giggle.
Fletch Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 We have known this for a while Sarah, we just didn't want to be rude. :-P. Lol.
Fletch Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 I AM NORMAL. "it's everyone else that's not".
Sarah Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Posted January 7, 2012 Uh huh ... sure. Well being normal is boring and overrated.
Nicola Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 I get called not normal all the time, though i think its the fact that i have chickens.. along with fish...Oh and the fact that i will gladly babble on about my pets.. boring the other person half to death

Billphil Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 Insanity is a small price to pay in order to be a genius. My fish agree totally with me
Nicola Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 My siggiy has a thing about being insane "Insanity: a small price to pay for sheer brilliance!"
les Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) There where a lot of children on the orange bus when we went to school in the morning and my Mum said we where all SPECIAL That poor busdriver had to clean his windows before he could pick us up at the end of school and clean them again after droping us off LOL Cheers Les The other day upon the stair I met a man who wasnt there He wasnt there again today I wish that he would go away Edited January 7, 2012 by les
SiameseFightingFist Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 He then said, "gee, you couldn't be a normal child and have a dog or something could you?" It ain't his business, you should've kicked him where it hurts for being all negative about what makes you get out of bed each day.
kermadum Posted January 7, 2012 Report Posted January 7, 2012 Ha!! Normal.... What a strange notion. I'd have taken the advice of the child in Wayne's video...
fishbites Posted January 8, 2012 Report Posted January 8, 2012 Hey Sarah.... seen too much of today's youth who think they are normal.... don't be part of it......keep going th way you are :)
shadoh Posted January 8, 2012 Report Posted January 8, 2012 I learnt a long time ago the only normal people are the ones you don't know very well....
Sarah Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Posted January 8, 2012 Going to start taking photos of people's faces as I show them my fish. I think generally people expect me to have a few cup-sized tanks for my fushus, and the rest of the room filled with shoes (hate shoes... infact I have really bad flat feet so even thongs are too painful to wear anyway), Their reaction always amuses me. :)
Matt_95 Posted January 10, 2012 Report Posted January 10, 2012 Lol I get told from my mum that I should be more like normal children -.- I listed all of my animals to a mate and he just said I would get along with his sister lol
Masquerade Posted January 31, 2012 Report Posted January 31, 2012 As an aspie I gave up on understanding the neurotypical concept of "normal" a long time ago.
