My niece as a toddler only had one speed: "damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead."
She had the ability to suddenly fall asleep, on occasion just leaning on something. One minute, she'd be a dynamo....the next minute just gone.
Of course, narcolepsy and other things were suspected and pursued. But in the end, it was medically decided that she lacked the bodily "governor" that told the body "SLOW DOWN, YOU'RE GETTING TIRED!", so she just kept going until the body just decided to shut down for a rest. The body knows best.
She outgrew it, thank goodness.

I used to walk really fast when younger. Once I decided to move, it was full speed ahead!

At 67 people still say I walk too fast for them.

Our son started land speed racing motorcycles at 16, finished 10th in points the 1st year, championship the next, has set many records including multiple over 200 MPH. Here is his fastest pass, at the time was 7th fastest in the world on a sit on motorcycle....
Yep, my sister. She'll be 65 in a couple months and she runs circles around me. Definitely OCD. And food-picky. She told me about a month ago when we were in Florida:
"I don't like salt."
But she's the only sister I have, so I think I'll keep her. And maybe hire her to go after my own dust bunnies.

They were wrong, but at work, they said Mike would never die from a heart attack, I had one speed at work, whether it was a fire alarm, or a teacher, or principal, or even a kid... I had one speed... But NEVER got a complaint at work...

OP knows what she was narrowly thinking and meaning for her Title/OP, but this person that cannot read minds has no specific idea what that is?
