I certainly wasn't the kind of kid that grew up collecting bugs and spiders.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Apparently, as a kid, I used to eat spiders. Maybe there's some Freudian significance behind that.
I don't think I was a monstrous child. I don't think I was ever allowed to be.
I definitely was a big comic collector as a kid.
I grew up as a child living 'Red Dawn.' I was leaping out of spider holes, mowing down Russkies at the age of eight.
Every kid has a bug period... I never grew out of mine.
I was just different. When the other kids gravitated to football or basketball, I went fishing and skating. I was into trapping animals, pheasants and squirrels. Not only was I trapper, I was a taxidermist.
I basically was a precocious little kid.
One thing I did was grow up as an ardent naturalist. I never grew out of my bug period.
In my youth, I spent my time investigating insects.
I remember being fascinated by ants and wasps and other bugs when I was a kid. I'd set out a Coke can and stand back 20 feet and use my telescope to watch wasps land on it.
