During the late summer and early fall of 2001, when I was 6, I was obsessed with floors in the house (like the basement, the main floor, the upstairs and the attic) I had a tape recorder and I used to say "basement, main floor, upstairs, attic" into it, saying it higher and faster every time I went up a floor. I used to love my tape recorder, I would say things like "I think she's got motion sickness" over and over again. Most of the them came from something I heard someone say. "I think she's got motion sickness" came from a time when I was sick and my dad kept saying that over and over again when I was sick once. Another one was "Ah, lunch monitors!" (Lunch monitors were grade 4 and 5 students who came into the younger classes at lunch to make sure the students behaved) because I said that when I spilled my milk all over someone's else desk. I would also change the topic out of the blue sometimes, like one time I was talking about this table at school that I had to sit at once or twice in Kindergarten and was saying "5 dollars please!" over and over again and suddenly said "I guess the Ferris wheel is gone, because there were too many days when it was broken!" I think the tape recorder was another special interest.
