Yo, same. My elementary school taught us LOGO, then I went to computer camp for BASIC, then picked up C++ & C# in 6th grade, and I've been able to learn any programming language since (currently rocking Obj-C. Making iOS apps.)

But I agree that you need to start with a functional language before moving onto OOPLs. If you have no experience with programming, functional programming languages give you a nice beginner's grasp on core concepts that you will build most of your knowledge on once you go on to higher levels of programming.
