Getting It Out of the Way Before Getting It On

Maybe, unless you're expecting company, you use paper plates instead of the ones in your cabinet because you hate doing dishes. Maybe you wear socks with holes in them unless you're going to an interview, a doctor's office, or a new love interest's home. Maybe you own clip-on bowties because you don't know how to tie a tie. Perhaps you never leave the house without a toothpick in your pocket because you'd sooner be caught dead than have someone see a bit of lettuce lodged between your teeth. Maybe you still sleep with a teddy bear.

We all have quirks. Some of them make us charming. Some of them make us nerdy. For the most part, we like to keep our quirks under wraps, especially in the company of those we'd like to get it on with. But what if we got it all out of the way before getting it on? What if we came clean about our quirks?

I'll go first.
