I used to hide in my brother's closet because I thought T Rexs would eat me if they found me.....I would make little forts in the closet with pillows and flashlights and it lasted a whole summer. I was 6.

I once thought there was a dinosaur (Utahraptor) in one of the lockers in fourth grade. That was my theory as to why it was padlocked.

I once gave some of my My Little Pony toys a haircut. I'm pretty sure one of them was Gen 2 Fluttershy.

I had a My Little Phony that I used to carry around by the tail everywhere. No wonder I was a brony for the first two seasons :p

I found it again recently. Its hair's all filthy.

I thought that blowing out candles was kinda fun. Know what's more fun? Blowing them out really hard. Know what's more fun? Doing it from the TOP. Know what's not fun? Hot candle wax all over your face.

Ok, let's try this again. Once when I was nine or so, I came across an electric wire on a fence and wondered if it was still on...so I decided to test it to see if it was still on, and of course, I did that by touching it.

Long story short, it was still on.

There used to be this huge stone jar in my front yard, filled with dirt. When I was a kid, I used to get long sticks and use them to search for baby millipedes in the dirt. Then I'd collect them on the sticks, use them to attract a large sewer rat, and wait for my dog to duke it out with the rat.

I was a weird kid.[lol]

[up]I wish I'd thought of that. When I was a kid, always wanted to catch a wild mouse or rat so I could give it a bath and love it forever... and I still kind of do tongue

I had a really awkward sk8r girl phase a few years ago which is pretty cringey whenever I think about it. Me and a group of guys would do was just go around on private property until we got given out to because we thought it was funny. I never even liked skateboarding, I like to look back and just think why?

According to my dad, if I had to go to the bathroom, I tended to pee almost anywhere when I was very little. Down airvents, on beds, trash/dead animals on the side of the road...

I may have already mentioned this, but when I was little, I thought gushers actually turned your head into a fruit. I was really disappointed when I are them. Plus They tasted gross

This one time, my brother and sister hid behind the couch when the supernatural stuff started swarming the screen during the "Night on Bald Mountain" segment of Fantasia - and I didn't. Even though at the same time I was scared of Maleficent. x_x

I used to think I was awesome at keeping secrets. Even though I always immediately told the one person I was supposed to keep it from. Hey, it doesn't count if you whisper it!... thought little me.

[up][up][up] You ain't alone, bub.

I had a tendency to suck on rocks in our driveway. To this day, I don't have any clue about what I had hoped to accomplish by doing that.

There was also that time when I was four where I rolled around in Miracle Gro hoping it would make me taller. Unsurprisingly, it didn't work.

That reminds me of my one coworker who somehow started a conversation about pissing in unusual places, during which she pretty much declared that her life's goal is to pee on everything.

I once drank so much fruit punch in one day that it (Squick warning!) it turned my crap red when I had to do #2 later that day. I freaked out and my mom freaked out and we almost went to see a doctor until I remembered how much punch I drank that day.

My brother and I once made a combination of Mel Brooks and Monty Python's humor:

"Thorndike, my Richard!"
"Professor Little Old Man!"
"It's Littleoldman, you stupid bastard! Littleoldman! You have high anxiety? I show you why! Get outside!"
-throws Thorndike off the balcony-

In a similar vein to my last post, I once drank the entire contents of a gallon of apple juice over the course of one morning/early afternoon. (When I was in the seventh grade I think.)

I proceeded to spend most of the rest of the day on the toilet.

Not sure if I posted this before, but: I would consistently fall asleep during the Night on Bald Mountain part of Fantasia. So, for most people it was Nightmare Fuel. For me... zzzzzzzzzz...

My parents say it's because it would be so late when it came on, I wound up conditioned to be tired when I saw it.

Every time an ad on the radio said "stop (on) in", I would mondegreen it as "stomp (on) in" and wonder if they would still serve me if I literally did that.

When I was in kindergarten (or maybe first grade), my mom confiscated a rented movie and wouldn't me or my siblings watch it because it made us too hyper. For the curious, it was Rolie Polie Olie's Big Damn Movie which had joy/laughter inducing bubbles as a plot device...and we pretended said popped on us oftentimes while watching it.
