Weird stuff you did as a child

Yeah. Isaac Asimov wrote some really interesting speculative stuff.

I think the upshot of that story was that the machine was eventually so advanced that it was able to create a new universe... With the announcement, "Let there be light!"

You need an adult.

I sat in my mom's lap during the shark part of Finding Nemo. I was a month away from turning three....

You are a lovely human being.

Funny, I must have been the only kid who wasn't particularly scared by that part (I was five). The anglerfish, however…

Peace is the only battle worth waging.

As a kid, I never got scared at those things.

I watched the 1985 version of Alice in Wonderland a lot to try to get over my fear of when Carol Channing turned into the super-scary sheep. It didn't work. -.-

Pinkie Pie and flugelhorns are a bad combination.

same here. XD

I don’t even know anymore.

Y'know, I haven't seen the fish fillum. I was 22 when it came out and it didn't appeal to me the way some cartoons do.

'All he needs is for somebody to throw handgrenades at him for the rest of his life...'

According to my mom, once while at a family gathering, no one could find little two year old me. They looked around until my mom found me...in the bathroom...sitting in the toilet playing in the water. We hastily left.

I liked (and still do) to explore, and one time while around the same age as the above incident, I wandered off about half a mile from my house and got lost. Fortunately, some friendly folks found me and took me home.

Somewhat later, when I was eight or nine, I thought about how hot air can make things like a.hot air balloon float. So I decided to put a paper towel over a lit candle. The paper towel caught on fire, so I panicked and threw it in the trash can. Now the trash can is going up in flames. Fortunately, by this time my mom caught onto what I was doing and threw the burning trash can out the door and hosed it down.

I was a pretty stupid kid...and that's not even getting into things like the incident with the axe.

"Wonder if Lexie's gonna be free after his shift today..."

Tell us another bedtime story, daddy!

Peace is the only battle worth waging.

When I was five, I was in my dad's workhouse (he likes to build stuff) and looking around at various stuff. Eventually I came across an ax and tried to pick it up, but it was too heavy, so I dropped it...

Blade side down...

ONTO MY FOOT, LEAVING A GASH ABOUT AN INCH AND A HALF LONG.

Fortunately, my dad was in there with me. To this day, I have no idea how they fixed it up without taking me to the hospital.

I liked to imitate Darth Vader when playing Warcraft II.

Peon/Grunt (after you click on him enough times): My tummy feels funny.
Me: Stomachaches do not concern me. I want victory, not excuses.

That's awesome.

what do you mean I didn't win, I ate more wet t-shirts than anyone else

Thank you. :)

I used to pretend I was Sabrina and it got to the point where I carried around a doll that looked like me while dressing in all red with black boots.

@kablammin: Holy crap, your dad sounds like an awesome person.

Insert witty 'n clever quip here.

At one point of my life, I wore a Spiderman costume, everyday for a year, whenever I was at home. Even my kindergarten classmates knew how much I liked spiderman, when they bukkake'd me with web shooters, during my birthday.

There was also a point where I always peed with my babysitter, for reasons I don't want to think about.

One more...I was a scaredy cat. A big one. An incredibly big one. Raimi!Green Goblin scared me; a villain that sends me to hysterics these days.

A bit later on, I joined the Mangafox forums. I was kind of a...pain to deal with. This was also on my Homophobic phase, and I clearly remember posting rudeshit on a Yaoi/Yuri thread, only to be told off.

Brb, finding a psychic to channel Freud to ask him.

I was a strange kid. I ate soup I spilled on a walkway, I picked my nose, put the boogers on the table, and licked it. I once shat on the shower. No, that's a lie...Shitting on the shower became a habit of mine.

I'll be honest, it was all an attempt to make people laugh. I made my own life hell, and it took awhile for people to start taking me serious again. A core of devoted friends helped me turn things around, and I'm grateful for that.

I used to catch lizards.

And put them in wheelbarrow.

Then catch more lizards.

Then count all the lizards and put them in a bucket.

Then hold/toy with the lizards a bit

Then release them.

Well, it's not weird where I grew up at least.

I'm having to learn to pay the price

I'm torn as to whether, had I been your fourth-grade teacher, I would have given you full credit for accurately quoting Calvin and Hobbes, or taken away points because you used Calvin's words and not your own. :P

The Revolution Will Not Be Tropeable

For a while when I was six or seven, during kid gatherings at church I would go around eating candy that had fallen on the ground, especially Nerds. It didn't matter where it came from either. Sometimes I would eat candy that had been under the trash can.

Ironic seeing as how I'm kind of a germaphobe, now.

"Wonder if Lexie's gonna be free after his shift today..."

I told my teacher I was thankful for cheese in preschool and kindergarten.

I did something similar, once, er, maybe more than once, actually. The answer to "What Do You Want For Christmas?" on one occasion when I was really little was: "Hot Wheels Chili!" Mind you, this was during a Christmas service at the aforementioned church and the congregation got a big kick out of that.

I actually probably embarrassed my parents a lot with the stupid things that came out of my mouth when I was really little. One time I told the then pastor of my grandparents' own church that my great grandfather wore diapers (something I couldn't actually confirm). That incident actually earned me a spankin.

Another time a woman asked me how old I was. "I'm seven! How old are you?" I innocently answered, much to my mother's horror. That one didn't end quite as unhappily as the above incident.

Hot Wheels makes chili?

Insert witty 'n clever quip here.

I thought chili was another name for fruit snacks for a while when I was little, and, If I remember correctly, I got the idea that Hot Wheels fruit snacks were hot wheels cars that could some how transform into the fruity goodness by sending them down hot wheel ramps, thanks to a commercial which showed the cars flying down tracks, flying into air while transforming into fruit snacks and landing into a kid's open mouth. I really wanted these special cars so I could do the same thing.

This could very well go into the "Dumb Things You Used To Believe As A Kid" thread, now that I think about it.
