When I grow up, I want to be (Part 2)

favorite













In my first year of life, everything was too noisy

When I turned two, I tried to learn the alphabet, but it felt like I was going in circles

After my third birthday, I learned to play tic-tac-toe

At age four, everything was about money

Year five was about learning to share

Once I turned six, I finally started to grow taller




What happened during my seventh year?



Disclaimer: There isn't going to be an exact answer, but I'll accept any answer in a similar narrative style to the story (arbitrary points for creativity) with an explanation of why it fits in

    This doesnt quite work dependant on where in the world you live. Never the less it is a really good puzzle.

In my seventh year




I tried (and failed) at learning to bake pretzels.




Explanation:




Each year takes place on the shift symbol of a number key on a standard 103-key keyboard, progressing to the right with the passage of time.




So




! indicated all the noise. @ is a path of concentric loops. # is a tic-tac-toe board. $ is (locally) money. % is the piece of a hundred-piece whole, the rest of which went to somebody else. ^ is the direction you advance when getting taller. And & looks like a malformed baked good, but no less delicious.
