What are a couple things everyone is shocked to find out about you?

For me its that I have a CHL and a Motorcycle License. And that I kicked butt on two Boy Scout high adventures.

    I have serious skill at making balloon animals and I love to knit and crochet in my spare time.... when I'm not making custom shoes or painting.

    Most people are shocked to find out that I am 36 and a mother of two.

    Also that I lift heavy weights. They say I look too small to lift weights.

    People are also shocked by the trauma that I went through in my past (but that's sort of dark and negative).

    Funny as it since this is MFP - however people are shocked by how much I weigh and what size clothes I wear. Apparently I carry my weight well :tongue: Even though I dis like it anyways lol

    That I have a photographic memory, my age or any part of my wild past. I think I look like a regular suburban mom who played it safe, wears glasses and carpools.

    That I am childfree by choice and generally not a fan of spending time with children (especially babies).

    No I don't hate them. But there's nothing about me that would suggest that I am hardcore, militant-serious about NEVER becoming a parent ever, never would have dated a parent, and so on...

    Same thing with me being agnostic.

    I am a software geek and, in spite of everything, I am really a nice guy.

    That I was once clinically obese @ 40%+ body fat and lost almost 100 lbs, put on lean mass and able to maintain sub 10% body fat year around! :tongue:

    You're not alone. I'm childfree by choice and an atheist.

    Most don't guess that I have tattoos, curse a lot, and often giggle like a school kid at the slightest innuendo. Apparently I portray the Cub Scout mom role well.

    That's how I felt... and then I had two of my own. However, as much as I love my kids, I still shy away when someone tries to hand me a baby, saying, "Isn't he/she/it cute?" I try not to respond, "I like puppies."

    ETA: MY kids.... just my kids. :happy:

    What do you usually carry?

    You might not guess from my appearance, but I very much enjoy the presence of small, fuzzy mammals such as rabbits and guinea pigs.

    I was a jet engine mechanic in the Air Force. I also am an ASE master tech.

    I can also lift a stretcher with a patient onboard, and put that stretcher into the ambulance. (Apparently, this is the oddest of them all, as I am only 5' tall, and firefighters look like they got hit by a bus when they see it).

    I had a VERY wild past. (blame the Air Force).

    I'm not a natural redhead (though I should have been).

    Cheers to the other non-religious CFBC-er...I know we're out there but always nice to know...

    I see another person said "That's how I felt until I had two kids". No offense but nope...I would NEVER see a pregnancy through to term. That's how militant-serious, hardcore we're talking here, folks.

    No really. Now that I have two, I am militant-serious... right there with you.
