My older sister tells people that I spent half my childhood upside down.
I don't recall it as being that much, but it may have been a lot. At least it's true that we had a soft chair in a corner, and I would do a head-stand in that chair often. Sometimes I think I'd even be reading, upside-down.
Perhaps this explains why I can't stop thinking today, my brain was hyper-fed blood every day.

I don't think that I'll comment on this one. I mean we could really get carried away talking about someone that spent half of his childhood on his head ;-)
Head-stand? No, that's yoga, and it's called 'Shirshasana' ... children often reinvent old body-oriented meditation techniques, like head-stand, whirling - maybe that explains a lot ;-)
But Wikipedia also says (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shirshasana): "This pose is not recommended for young children."
Hm ;-)

Like, I thought that was how TEENAGERS invented break-dancing, yo?
"This pose is not recommended for young children."
Of course. You'd be a fool to ENCOURAGE them by recommending they did such stuff!
How will you ever get them to sit properly at the dinner table after that, hunh?
My Auntie used to tell me, when I was 17, that reading while lying down flat would make me cross-eyed. So far, I still need a conscious effort to make such a grimace component.
Not as efficient as she promised, I reckon...
