Glad we both got over that! Example from earlier: around age 7 or 8 I got defensive about my name, so one time within earshot of my brother T.J., I introduced myself to someone as "Christopher M. Walsh, and don't make fun of it." T.J. teased me by imitating that for years.
Thank everything I developed more of a sense of humor come junior high, or otherwise that might have gone even worse. Or at least even more obnoxiously. I'm so glad I really got into Monty Python then (though I'd seen Monty Python and the Holy Grail earlier, around 1985 when I was 11 or 12).
Here's one of several reasons I responded very well to The Sixth Sense: I so rarely see any portrayal, let alone an understanding one, of a serious kid. Shyamalan is good at that. I'm betting he was a serious kid, too.
