When you were young...

[Baby Tea]

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.

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

A sound question.
The fact is, we hadn't put it up yet. My dad just bought a new one to replace our old, broken one. It was sitting on the ground in our living room. It was all fancy, with a latch and everything! I now have a phobia of latches.
Well, not really. But still.

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

I'm told that when I was a young one, I used to shove green beans up my nose, and at one point, I had to go to the ER to get a rougue bean out of my nasal cavity.

When i was little (like 18months) i would sing along with to the Star Trek theme song every time it played. My parents made me watch a tape they had of it.

 

[stevetastic]

i broke my arm becasue i thought if a put my duvet on the floor and jumped onto it i would break my fall and be fine... i jumped of a cupboard.
Also i told my sister she was fat and she punched me in the face... *****

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.

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

I'm pretty sure I wanted to see what a coin tasted like, thats what my dad told me, so I must have wanted to sample the flavours or something.

 

[sky14kemea]

wow i cant compete with these storys...

when i was really little, my bro had a train set, i used to lie on the floor and go round with it XD
also, whenever we went to someones house i used to look in all the cupboards and stuff, im still not sure why, although i sometimes still do it at my friends houses XD

 

[Jursa]

I could never stand still (quite the opposite of now), I really really really talked and asked a lot, not to mention I hurt myself a lot by accident doing stupid things...

 

[nathan-dts]

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.

I feel compelled to ask.

Still only 14 so I have a few years to go, but currently there isn't much. I guess i'm going to have to go with liking the Star Wars prequels (and then I saw episode 5 and it changed myviews of movies forever).

I noticed one of my mum's friends hair was particularly shiney and nice one day, she left and i asked my mum if she used pantene, my mum asked why and i recited the last advert i had saw for it work perfectly XD. Impressionable little sod i was.

Even younger (i dont remember but ive been told) i threw a tantrum because my dad broke MY wheeto, and it was the one i wanted so instead of accepting another i demanded he put it back together XD

 

[CrazyNick]

I used to absolutely crap myself by turning the stereo up as loud as I could when I was 1, but I continued to do it. I also used to ask wayy to many questions when I was 3-6 and used to rid down my friends staircase in a sleeping bag, fun times

 

[x M 1 S F I T]

well when i was younger ( i say younger because in some peoples eyes i am a kid ) about ten years ago so i was five my mom was downstairs in my grandparents house on the computer and i was really interested in computers i had no idea what the internet was seeing as how my hometown got high speed last year i went upstairs to get an apple and we had and old spiral staircase and i ran down them and slipped half way down them i was fine a bit dizzy and hurt...the apple did not make it. So i go back upstairs and get another apple and guess what the same god damn thing happened again...so lets say in a nut shell i was a clumsy kid

 

[stormcaller]

I've noticed alot of you have said "asking questions" as one of your points perhaps it's this nature thats leads to wanting to attain higher knowledge? Can we get a scientist in here to make a pointless observation that still somehow ends up on the new in an anti-gamer way? i.e this just in "gamers" were once annoying little brats, Thank you Tom know we have another reason to alienate the biggest form of Media today, now for sports.

I used to watch people play Silent Hill, knowing it would scare the crap out of me.

I also once shoved a James (Thomas The Tank Engine) figure into the VCR. No I dea how I got it out...

Theses VCR stories are all great, too bad the newest generation doesn't get to enjoy them. (I'm 14 so I should probably shut-up about the next gen and all)

Stuck my finger in a lit candle to see if the flame was real or fake.

 

[Ansem-The-Wise]

He doesn't look a thing like Jesus, but he
talks like a gentleman, like you imagined
when you . . . were young!

Couldn't resist. I remembered that I once dialed 911 for no reason. My parents wondered why the cops showed up.

 

[ChristmasChild]

Stuck pieces of string up my nose in pre-k. One day I coughed up an entire ball of tangled string.

 

[curlycrouton]

Because I saw names of films my parents had recorded written on VCRs, I thought that writing the name of a film I wanted to see would mean that when I put it in the VCR, it would play that film. Needless to say most of the blank VCR tapes in my parent's house ended up with the word "Pokemon" scribbled on them.

Why eat glue, when string is perfectly valid?

I rode my tricycle through a glass window, I went head first on to a floor. I was unharmed, although the doctor says I have brain dama...... *Drool*.
