I am now talking to Chat GPT and I was just told by it that my interest in Hades, the god of the dead and the king of the underworld and his dark kingdom and my desire to replace Persephone as his wife was undeniably something untypical for a (then) six year old. :)

And when I was an older child, I was ten, I started to love horror movies (like the "Pumpkinhead" series on the demon of venegance) and books on spiritual stuff like Raymond Moody's "Life After Life" - now I think it's rather something extraordinary for someone so young - but then again, once I saw on some message board that one lady didn't believe another user that she read Ursula Le Guin's book when in the third grade :roll: (so she would be 9-10 years old then) - well, I read adult books when in the first grade.

Were you interested in such topics as children, too? :)

Ursula Le Guin is an adult author?
I read many of her books before I was 10
So too Heinlen's Stranger in a Strange Land.

It was a message board for middle aged neurotypical women, that should explain everything. I think those ladies thought ten year olds read just her "Catwings" :mrgreen:
