I mentioned this on another thread the other day, but when I was a kid, I had the obnoxious habit of playing with other people's hair. Usually by sneaking up on them when they were sitting down and swishing their ponytails about. It cost me a game of Sleeping Lions at one point. >_>
Good news is, I learned my lesson once I grew my own hair long. The foot was on the other boot, as they say. ...Or is it the other way around?

Those sell-by-dates won't stop me because I can't read!According to my mom, when I was less than three years old, if we went to large gatherings like sports events at school or church, everyone had to keep an eye on me or else I would walk around the bleachers and start eating everyone else's food. I would just walk up to people, grab something of their plate, then continue walking while eating the food I stole picked up. Fortunately, I grew out of that phase pretty quickly.
What changed? Just kidding!
When I was a wee tot, talking about 2 or 3 here, I wanted nothing but the sweet release of death. Every single time my parents weren't around, I'd climb to the very top of my crib, open my arms in the fashion of a crucifix, and freefall. I knew damn well what I was doing.
That's not where it stops. I was a freaking phenomenal climber and expressed that everywhere I could. One of these places happened to be the stove. I got up, saw the red hot top, and threw my hand onto it. The next day, I did the exact same thing.
I just wanted to die so bad.

Moving to Silvie Skydancer
I ate dog food once when I was, like, three.
I was also an absurdly picky child. Mom may be exaggerating but she tends to say that I would only eat cheesy poofs and chocolate milk when I was younger. A picture of toddler!me exists somewhere where I have a cheesy poof in each fist and two of them sticking out of my mouth. (I'm still really picky but it's more in a sense of avoiding vegetables- which I still hate to this day for mostly sensory reasons.)
On a similar subject to that, I pretty much constantly had something up my nose. Mom once had to squeeze several macaroni noodles out of my nasal cavity- she was afraid she'd have to take me to the hospital because there were so many!
Switching accounts because I don't like this username anymore, sorryAfter I told my parents that I sometimes heard voices and saw weird things in the corner of my eye (Well, only once, but a lot of lights were on, so it was especially weird) and heard someone whispering next to me when I was sleeping (alone in my room next to the second story window).
My parents promptly took me to a Chinese exorcist and I've never had those problems again
We Are With You Zack Snyder
There was a 2.5 to 3 foot distance between the two walls leading to my bedroom. Sometimes I used to climb up the walls and sit up there with my head touching the ceiling.
I would put my feet against one wall with my back against the other.
Batman Ninja more like Batman's Bizarre AdventureI'm not sure if this fits here or "Dumb things you believed as a kid", maybe it's both:
There was this one time when I was a really little kid where I was with a bunch of little kids at church while my parents were in a church meeting of some sort, and at one point, we were told that it was nap-time. "Tomorrow, we're going to the mountains," one of the people watching us said.
Being a little kid who took lots of things seriously, I thought they meant that we were literally going to the mountains tomorrow morning rather than pretending to go to the mountains (which is likely what they meant and probably what we did after nap time). Thus, I was quite upset when my parents came to pick me up because I thought this meant I wouldn't be going to the mountains with everybody else.
"Hey, least I didn't lose all my artistic talent when I crash landed in the arena here."Bump. This one time, my siblings and I were watching a nature documentary, and there was this one part about mold. I said "NO!" like Principal Skinner a lot because all the time lapses of mold ruining the delicious-looking fruit was gross. x_x
Come on! Let's bless them all until we get fershnickered!When I was a kid, I thought acorns were worm eggs. Don't ask how, it's a long story. But for the longest time I was terrified of acorns. They still kinda freak me out today.
Long live the New Bev.![]()
Oh! At first I thought you said you licked a butterfly. Not sure whether or not that would've been worse.
One year in middle school, we were watching The Secret of Kells in art class. The teacher gave us sheets with questions to answer about the movie, and one prompted us to draw a picture of the movie's Kid Hero, Brendan.
For whatever reason, I decided to draw him like a Creepy Child. I drew him staring right at the viewer and frowning.
Very good kittyI thought Santa worked at Costco for eleven months of the year.
Peace is the only battle worth waging.

In my book there are.
Now, there's something I'd like to share. Apparently, I stopped sleeping with pillows due to reasons that are too stupid to repeat.
