Childhood Preferences

I did dissect a gold fish that my dad had won for me at a carnival after the fish died (due to an experiment itself of mine), but that wasn't exactly a supervised activity.

Gotcha. It would still be the Arts. I still have the weathered and worn copy of Bulfinch's Mythology which I devoured in 5th grade (loved  Norse and Greek myth as well as the Arthurian cycle at the time).

I think most of us liked just about everything. I was a voracious reader of fiction back then. But surely there was a preference in some direction?

The arts no doubt. Except I do enjoy social studies. I am still a child, btw.

The arts, I suppose, inlcuding history. But I did enjoy cutting up cats and pigs in Biology.

lol, for me substitute beer for women, but yeah.

I have to say reading, although I was also very interested in science. In first grade I wanted to be chemist, although later I changed my mind when I realized what it was chemists actually did. :P

Formaldehyde always made me sick so I couldn't do much of the biology stuff.

Always the arts for me.

Simple question to settle a curiosity of mine in a highly scientific manner. Voting is for you as a child please remember.

I was much more interested in the sciences as a child. Eventually schooling made them unbearably boring and took all of the creativity and discovery out of them. I have clearly returned to them later in life.
