chefpyro:

Did anyone else have that thing as a kid where you had to do something four times to like, complete the pattern or else it would bother you? Like tap something or jump up and down or whatever?

So you’d do something a couple times and your parents would be like ‘quit it’ but you gotta complete the pattern, so you try to do it one more time without them noticing and of course they do notice and then you get in trouble.

… Y’know?

Does knocking on the door four whenever you knock on someones door times count? Or making sure the volume is divisible by 5? Or making sure your lego projects are perfectly symmetrical?

    Does making sure to only step twice on each concrete slab of sidewalk count? Or stepping only once on every other stair?

  5. not-the-conversation-starter said: Yeah. But it was always just me counting silently. Never got in trouble for it?
