Ivy Tagged Me!

My friend Ivy tagged me. I have to write six unspectacular quirks. Here are the rules:
So here are the tag rules
Link to the person who tagged you
Post the rules on your blog
List 6 unspectacular quirks you have
Tag 6 bloggers by linking them
Leave a comment on each taggee's blog to let them know they've been tagged.

There are two tricks here. The first is finding six people to tag and link and the second is to find ONLY six quirks.

1. I do not like getting anything under my fingernails. I will clean them so thoroughly that sometimes they are clear. This is the reason I want to get a garbage disposal. With two little boys, there is NO WAY not to get gunk down in the sink, that I have to reach in and pull out so the sink does not run over. Then, for the rest of the day, I'm picking at my nails.

2. I have to turn the milk carton label away from me at breakfast because I will read and re-read the thing through out the meal, not realizing I'm doing it.

3. I can whistle like Thomas the Tank Engine, a fact that thrills my little boys.

4. The grocery store we go to has shopping cars that look like racecars. The boys "drive" and I provide the sound effects. This, of course, I don't realize I'm doing so that other people besides my sons, who are laughing in delight especially and the tight, fast turns, until older ladies look at me either in mirth or disgust.

5. I'm the queen of spiderwebs when it comes to a story. I make Charlotte look like a "humble" spider. For this reason, I can not tell jokes. I spider web so much, the only thing I remember about the punch line by the time I get around to it is that it WAS funny.

6. I didn't have a security blanket until college. Now, I can't sleep well without it. I will jack the ac to 68 degrees so that it's cool enough in the height of summer to have both the comforter and my blanket on my bed. If I get hot, I will venture to stick one foot out from the mound to cool it off. Then turn over to cool the other.

Now, I've got to tag six people.
