Ohhh....you had to ask. Thumb-sucking. If I was old enough to make the conscious decision to quit, I surely must have been past the age of giving that up. P.S. My teeth are perfect. Take THAT, Dr. Spock!

Getting into fights (especially physical ones), mostly defending "the little guy" and I was scrawny and scrappy as heck. It took until my late 20's to finally harness that energy and put it to positive use.
SMITH Magazine brings you an entirely new kind of six-word experience: Six-Word Questions. This is the place to pose a question to the SMITH community from, "What are your favorite Six-Word quotations" to challenging members to pen Six-Word Obituaries to the recently departed to Six-Word jokes and any other Six-Word question you can dream up. You can even request that the responses be in six words. Everyone has a question—what's yours?
