You probably end up talking to animals a lot if you're immortal, right? Sure, animals die like everyone else, but they can only look and act so different from parents. It's probably really easy to pretend an entire species is just one creature who's always on top of the latest fashion trends. And if you ever see more than one at once? Siblings you've never met. Who also love trends. Not kids--never kids-- just siblings. Easy.

I'm john normal

Was just thinking about this the other day. Yeah I have a favorite seat on the bus (middle of the bus, near the back doors, slightly elevated, facing forward), but I don’t get upset if someone is already sitting there, I just pick one of my other favorite spots. Then I realized that most people probably don’t have a favorite bus seat, let alone a series of backup favorites.
