However, it's far too likely that most of the people reading me _did_ have this feeling throughout their entire lives, at least as kids and teens, so I can't even do a poll to see if my suspicion is right. ;)

You could do a poll to find out whether that's true though. Of course, answering would cause their covers to break, so who knows how accurate it would be. :)
