Things That Were Punishments As a Kid, But Are Now Life Goals

1. Don't leave your bedroom.
2. Go to bed.
3. Don't leave the house.
4. You can't go to a party.
5. Take a bath.

@drmaddkap
Yes! All of those except 5. Sometimes 5. Is OK. It's not hard being an introvert.

My mother said that sending me to my room as a punishment didn't work. I could sit and read all afternoon or evening.
I'm not a party person, either, although I've enjoyed some.

When the cashier at Trader Joe's asks me if I'm doing anything *fun* this weekend, "Not if I can help it" is my usual reply. lol.

@drmaddkap Not leaving my room was something I actively preferred doing once I became a teenager.

@drmaddkap I am the proverbial exception to the rule. My parents begged met to come out of bed/bath, spend some time in the living room, go outside and please please go to parties, like a normal teenager. 🙂

@drmaddkap I've hit peak 'middle agedness' whenever I taste a 'good' dessert, I now say, 'wow, that's nice, [implied: 'because'] it's 'not too sweet'*
