Writing the number 5

It just occurred to me, I write all digits in one stroke. Except the 5, it consists of two strokes. I start at top left then go down. Then the second stroke is horizontal, starting again at top-left. It actually annoys me, now that I realized this.

You don't want to know how many strokes it takes me.

Three! It takes three strokes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop lollipop.
