Silly Things You Did as a Kid

[Rackinac]

We all know that when you are a kid, your unawarness of the world and imagination can make you look incredibly stupid. What are some stupid things you did as a kid?

I ate a blueberry muffin once and when I exhaled smoke started coming out of my mouth. I was sure I was finally getting super powers; like fire breath or some sort of ice power. I told everyone about it.

Turns out it was mold spores.

I mixed up the words "Nerd" and "Retard" and ran down the school halls yelling "I'M A RETARD! I'M A RETARD!!". ugh....

[teh yoshi]

I pulled down my grandma's pants... TWICE.

Once at the Statue of Liberty.

Once in the White House.

[Teo]

"I know everything! Look! that's a fork, that's the table, that's..."

Ah, childhood.

Also brings up the amusing time I tried cooking Crepes. I was about six years old. Had an oil burn on my hand for awhile...

Another time I had three friends, but two wouldn't like the other one, so every time I'd be with one, I'd say I didn't like the other party. Boy, once the four of us got together...

One day, still in Kindergarten (or at least the equivelent), we were playing the telephone game. The teacher assumed we all knew how to play and started the game. I had never played, and I just sent a random word down the line. Something about potatoes...

Learning to write. What a memory. The teacher had written an "I" in each of our books, and we had to copy it. Well, every single one of us copied it on a DIFFERENT line in our notebooks. The teacher was furious and told us to do it again. We all did it on a differently line. THEN he told us to do it NEXT to the original. So we put it right under or over the original.

Also did my first crowd dive. 'Bout... oh... 300 kids coming back from Recess into a thin hallway. I was squished, and I just jumped, and all of a sudden I was squished so much I couldn't get back down. I couldn't even tell if anyone minded, there were too many people.

Good time...

Scathed the neighbor's daughter with a bubble sword. It was plastic, but boy was it painful. A week later I nearly blinded her with a fake bow and arrow kit.

Thought it would be funny, in third grade, to lie to the whole school proclaiming I have the rare Pokemon Green Version. My friend Cameron, who knew me better, asked me if he could see it while at my house right in front of my mom. This taught me never to lie again.

I found more ways to hook up a modem in my room and acquire internet service. Even stole the neighbor's wifi network by accessing it through a Nintendo Wii wifi dongle. I would furtively steal my parents' modem from upstairs when I was grounded from my dongle and use it as a temporary alternative.

I was always on the hunt for these things called "House Centipedes" They're brown and have hundreds of long, slender legs. You can find them crawling on walls and under things. Whenever one was in my room, I took the liberty of disposing of it ASAP with my katana. My habits haven't changed too much from then. Nowadays, I burn cockroaches in my room, which might I add, smells like chicken.

...was perhaps the one who single-handedly lit the match that started the Legendz fandom craze over in the US. I found the show one Friday morning of browsing channels on Cox Cable. 35 I think it was, was an intercultural channel. Most of the time it was Japanese influenced. I made an avatar for a site, and one fellow asked me where it came from. I told him a 'lil about the show, then he started posting episodes everywhere online. So if you're ever on Youtube and come across a Realdragon or Sapphiredragon, tell them Hero says Hi.

I know there's more, but that's all that comes to mind.

Now, when I was little, I was bit... thick minded. I would always pronounce words wrong, but no one can tell me other wise. Like, remember is not pronounced renember... or truck is not pronounced...

You get my point.

I also had a crush on this one boy, but on a playground I acidentally pulled his pants down.

He had scooby-doo boxers... :D?

I also was 100% sure that the huge rock on the playground was a dinosaur fossil. I will chew off your arms if you tell me otherwise.

I was such a weirdo. :O

[Twi]

I jumped from a sofa into a radiator and cracked my head open at about 2 years old, I still have the scar.

[PinkFloydYoshi]

Jumping speed bumps on my mountain bike at high speed. I made the first one all right, but the second one, ahh dear. Went straight over the handle bars and hit the ground chin first while attempting to break my fall with my arms, although I failed, somewhat.

The result? Chin gashed open and broken arm. 6 or 7 stitches, an arm in cast and 8 weeks later, I was back on the bike as if nothing happened. Did I learn anything? Like hell I did!

[Yoshi]

Jumping off the swings backwards. It was all good fun for a while 'till I fell and slammed my wrists on exposed pipe, breaking them both at the same time.

[Rackinac]

I stuck my hand into a fire.

It hurt.

[red.yoshi]

I used to try to talk to animals. I thought I used to be able to talk to geese once, ha ha.

I used to run around with my friend around when I was 6 or 7 fighting invisible armies of 'bad guys.'

Inhale helium. ...Wait, I still do that.

Steal my mom's Mascara and tried to imitate her. It ended up all over my face.

Wanted to name my son 'Yoshi.'

Played pointless StarCraft Battle.net UMS maps for almost 12 hours straight on the weekends.

Chased those little light rainbows that appear on the inside walls of houses early in the morning. (Caused by diffraction: the sun hits the window and spits out pretty colors, lol.)

Chased the little glare my dad's watch made on the wall, convinced by my Mother that it was "Tinkerbell."

These many more. I can't remember. I wasn't too bright as a child. X,x

[Lord of the Dance]

I banged my head on just about anything it's possible to hit your head on, from faceplanting into the sandbox to falling backwards and getting a lump that I still have on ice (twice). And running into slides, doors, walls, door handles, windows (I still do that lolz), and people.
And I fell backwards off the monkey bars and cracked my head when I was little, too.
...And a swing at afterschool in second grade or so.
I would paint my fingernails and peel it off to pass the time.
I read chapter books.
I had no clue what Poke'mon were for the longest time, so I would guess and fail.
My sister and I had these epic Barbie/Yoshi adventures as well.
I had nightmares every night so I would try to stay up all night to avoid them.

And when I was a baby I used to stack tissues on my head. Got a whole box of 'em up there once according to my mother.

Oh, all the very stupid things I did as a kid. Well, I mispronounced words(I kept saying 'girl' as 'grill', and I like grilled cheese sandwiches.), I once went too far in the deep end of the town pool when I didn't know how to swim yet, I punched through a glass window and luckily only had to get 3 stitches on my wrist, I lokced the cat in my room, I played Quake and Duke Nukem at four years old, I nearly got hit by cars at least four times, I jump down eight steps on a staircase and now don't feel much pain from landing hard, I cooked 3 year old macaroni and cheese(it smelled NASTY, and was brownish), and if I told you all the rest, you will know how crazy I was, and how many stupid risks I took.

[Fluory]

Pajama Sam was my first crush.

Please pity me.

[Rackinac]

I remember how I thought being called a tomboy or idiot was a complement...

I would always say thank you and they would laugh...

[Damian Yoshi]

I got suspended from pre-school when I was a lot younger. I don't remember exactly what happened, but I'm pretty sure the other guy started it.
