How young were you when you asked your mother a question that was mature beyond your age? Only if you want to, kindly reveal the question.
Not sure if this is what you had in mind, but I remember when I was about 9 or 10, upon finding out that a cousin had had a son who suffered from a terrible disease and died as an infant, I was very sad and asked my mother why Hashem brought that baby into the world for such a short time, filled with so much pain.

What fills you with positive energy?
Singing hearty, warm songs, especially those geared to connecting to Hashem.
How old were you when your mother first allowed you to shower/bath your younger siblings?
I was maybe 16 or 17 when I started bathing (future) DH's younger siblings. Does that count? I didn't have any siblings young enough.
How old were you when you started talking about politics?
Of course your answer is fine. Now u got me curious - if I may ask - how did it happen that you bathed the younger sibs of the person who'd eventually be your husband? Answer, only if your feel comfortable.
Re politics. I don't remember. We didn't discuss any kind of politics in our family. We perhaps discussed briefly but excitedly when a wedding was celebrated in the British Royal Family.
I still abhor politics.

Very fair question. We went to the same high school and I started spending lots of time at his house, especially for Shabbos (my family wasn't frum or in the community so I would sleep by neighbors). Today those little siblings are great with our babies when we visit.

Never- I started working in a preschool after high school until I figure out what I want to do with my life and I am still there.

How old were you when you learned to ride a bike?
I don't remember exact age, but probably 6 or 7. I fondly remember getting as a gift my pink bike with streamers on the handles, and my little brothers blue bike didn't have streamers nebech While I was riding it round the block, people were staring at me because where I grew up it was "not appropriate" for girls to ride bikes. I had to give up bike riding by age 10 because my parents were getting too many nasty comments about how not-tznius her daughter was.
How old were you when you made your first "best friend"?
Are you sure about your last comment? Is it worth getting shot for a sour stick?
I also absolutely dislike sour sticks, but please don't shoot me. I thought Americans called them - sour belts?
re gift for myself: you're probably referring to something valuable?
in our family a gift was an ice ceam cone or another good nosh, or pkt. of stickers etc.
So I was appr. 8-9 when my mother gave me money to buy stickers for my sticker collection. It was so exciting to choose alone.
A gift that I bought for myself several years after I got married, was an Artscroll pocket siddur with English translation. I wanted to understand what I was saying when I davend. I cherished it. About 2 weeks ago it suddenly disappeared
We've looked all over to no avail. But I haven't yet given up hope of finding it, iy'H.
How old/young were you when you got your first pair of shoes?
How old were you when your parents started taking you to weddings?
Well, the first wedding I remember attending is my aunt's when I was five (we came all the way to Israel for it). But that was special - I don't think they started 'taking me to weddings' then. Probably only when I was a little older. Eight? Nine?
