| easy13wayout: In our household, we have a saying, "Quirky is not a competive sport." It sometimes feels like my children are trying to best themselves, though. So, yes, I definitely would call my Reedie quirky (though my other child is definitely *far* quirkier).
Things I consider quirky about him: his adoration of Freud, semi-serious spiritual connection to Pochacco, aversion to touching raw meat, and use of odd idioms, slang, and turns of phrase unique to our family, among other things.
If you're asking if by "quirky", I mean "uses drugs" or "is very studious", well, no, that's not what I mean. A quirk is "a strange attitude or habit". Pretty much everyone in my family has strange attitudes and habits. If my son went to many other schools, his roommate would probably describe him as "very strange", but at Reed, he's just another freshman. |
