When you were young...

[stormcaller]

This is just a thread about funny things you did as a child.

Here's mine: When I was young I realised constantly asking what things meant and why the meant that and such tended to go from being cute to just plain pissing people off, so whenever I learnt a new word I would slot into my speech whenever I could untill someone would correct me and tell me what it actually meant. The best example was the term "bloody hell!" man was I in trouble.....

I have searched already under "funny things you did as a child" and "when you were young" but if this thread has been made already then just say so.

I never stopped talked. Never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever.

Seriously, I talked non-stop on our first 12-hour flight,
"What's that?"
"What does this do?"
"How does it fly?"
"What's turbulence?"
"Why?"
"Why?""
"Why?"

There was one time when I was lighting a gas fire that I found out the three close lighters to me we out of gas after I had already turned the gas on in the fireplace. When I finally found the fourth one that worked, I burnt off a little of my hair. Thank god I had the gas on low.

Exactly the same, I asked loads and loads and loads of questions.

My brother used to shove pea gravel up his nose. No idea why, he just did.

I used to want to be a book when I grew up.

Once I read 'I Can Read Upside-Down' by Dr. Seuss, I tried to read it upside-down.

And one time I accidentally pulled the shower curtain off its rings and went crying to my mom because 'I broke the bathtub'.

I said he doesn't look a thing like Jesus... Oh we weren't singing.
When I was a kid (I still am... kinda) I wanted to be a suitcase when I grew up... Don't ask.

When I was about 3 or 4, I would always wonder how when people pulled the cord on the bus to request a stop, the bus driver always knew exactly which person had wanted to get off, and where they wanted to get off the bus. (I didn't realize that he didn't need to know WHO the person was, and that the bus route had designated stops, that people knew of.)

My mother kept her candles in the lower drawer of the cupboard. Big mistake, as I found candles to be quite appetizing.

And I would never, ever shut up.

An old tradition of mine that I keep to this day, waliking into and faling over things.

I used to want to be a book when I grew up.

That's awesome!

But he talks like a gentleman, like you imagined when you....ok we can stop this now

That is also very awesome.

All I ever wanted to be was a chang-chang (me speak for an axeman from Age of Empires one, it's they sound they make)

My sister and I used to get into a laundry basket and ride down the stairs in it as a free alternative to Disney World. The fact that we were never even slightly injured astounds me to this day.

I used to take things apart and freeze them. One day, I found my father's toolbox, took the screwdriver and proceeded to dismantel my "Beast Wars Megatron" Transformer. I then took the pieces, placed them in seperate Zip-Lock bags filled with water, then put those bags in the freezer. The next day, I'd take the bags back out and just examine them, or sometimes melt the ice under a stream of hot water at the sink.

I used to take all of the shampoos, conditioners, and soaps mix them all together and find some dirt to mix in with it and then I sit in the shower to see if people would use it. I also "fixed" my broken and separated toys by figuring out cool ways to tape them together to make new toys. I was very bad about telling dumb jokes as a kid as well.

 

[Whobajube]

I stuck a sandwich in the VCR when I was like... 1 1/2, maybe 2. I can't remember it, haha.

 

[fix-the-spade]

Actually, as a child I was very average, well behaved and didn't seem to do anything overtly daft.

However, at the age of 15 or so I discovered bicycles, suddenly a world of cliffs, half pipes, trees and For Escort windscreens opened up before me...

I swallowed way too many coins. When I was three I swallowed a 50c piece, when I was four, I'm pretty sure I swallowed a $2 coin and when I was six I swallowed a 5c piece. You would think I would have learnt after the first time.

How was the resolution?

Were you using yourself as a human piggy bank by chance?

I did the mixture thing too, I kept pretendting it was a super strength tonic made from Shampoo,Conditioner, Facewash, Soap and if I was bored then Dettol.

I may or may not (read: did) have locked myself in a mail box. And not like a mail drop box...I'm talking a mail box that goes at the end of your driveway.
I tried to make it a fort...and I made it a prison.

Wait, if you were small enough to fit in there, how did you climb into the mailbox?
