I was so quiet and unsociable, I used to refuse to come downstairs when people were visiting, so my mum just gave up and would leave me to it. Some of my relatives used to wonder if I existed.

Well, I hope they gave you Christmas presents!!!!

I think I was a bit of a Lisa Simpson as well. Always borrowing library books, played the clarinet, hung out with the good girls, always did my homework, was a sports 'prefect'.

Swap girls for boys and that was me! I was a wee bit of a tom-boy as well though. My love of football and cars didn't go down with the girls, nor was I down with their fancy-papers, dolls and skates. Blehhh :pac:

Vicxas · 25-06-2011 02:54PM

I was a little bit of a douchebag...

Da Shins Kelly · 25-06-2011 02:56PM

I was pretty shy and loved animals. I still really like animals, but I became incredibly more outgoing as I got older. By the time I was 12, I was impossible to shut up in school, whereas when I was younger, I would have had a heart attack if I'd been given out to for talking.

Oh, I wasn't a tomboy. I remember begging my mum to get me these coloured pens that smelt like fruit so that I could show them off when the new year of school started.

I did organise street 'Olympics' with all the kids - I even made fake medals - and was always winning the 'marathon'

I was a legendary runner.

All the cool kids had those, but my mammy said no

Bobby42 · 25-06-2011 03:38PM

I was that small quiet kid that people expected would end up going crazy and come into school and kill everyone.

Aw, trust me, I wasn't cool. I just wanted to be

My mum usually said no to everything, too, which is why I remember those pens. Wonder if we are thinking of the same ones

Tubsandtiles · 25-06-2011 03:55PM

Shy but pleasant

hondasam · 25-06-2011 03:56PM

I was a nightmare always in trouble, smoking, drinking,fighting but I have managed to leave the past behind me.

I'm a good girl now.

Kojak · 25-06-2011 03:57PM

I was a bit like Damien from that film "The Omen"

I was thinking around the ages up to age 6. God, you were hardcore

FortuneChip · 25-06-2011 04:01PM

Mischevious. Always in trouble for little things in school like playing pranks or talking. Spent many an hour standing outside the Principal's office, eagerly awaiting another lecture.
To the point that once I was once outside his office collecting papers or something and was met with "Ah, Mr FortuneChip, what have you done this time"
Never in serious trouble though.

Me and my brother were seriously bad, if anything happened you can be sure it was us two.

we look back now and really we were grand it's everyone else who had a problem.

Sweatynutsack · 25-06-2011 04:27PM

Sweatynutsack = problem child

I used to terrorize my next door neighbours cat by using our pebbledashed wall to give him a haircut !!

pragmatic1 · 25-06-2011 04:29PM

Loud and always messing.

Giselle · 25-06-2011 05:16PM

I could wrap my dad around my little finger and played my grandad like a violin. Other than being a talented manipulator, I was quiet and shy. Still am.:)

Creature · 25-06-2011 05:20PM

Really shy and quiet and very well behaved. My parents were very strict and I never had the guts to misbehave. However I probably wouldn't have done so even if they weren't strict.

Thomas828 · 25-06-2011 05:23PM

Looking back on my baby photos from the '70s I was cute, quiet and happy. 35 years on... well, I'm not exactly cute anymore, but as Meatloaf says, two out of three ain't bad.

Eve_Dublin · 25-06-2011 05:24PM

Apparently I was a very good and very calm for a child....my relations used to comment that I had that "been here before" quality about me...which is a little creepy. I was the youngest of 5 children and was kind of spoiled for attention from them. It also meant all my clothes and toys were comprised of hand-me-downs.

MissRealist · 25-06-2011 05:58PM

I was the one you couldn't get inside the house. I was always out playing. A huge tomboy. I thought girls were whiny and obviously useless because none of them played soccer... My friends all thought I was a boy in girls clothing... I was pretty proud of that at the time. :rolleyes:

Duddy · 25-06-2011 06:02PM

A clown.

"WANNAHEARTHISJOKETHATITOLDYOUYESTERDAY?"

One of my earliest memories is dancing at the top of my class when my teacher was out, with my tie on my nose to make me look like an elephant, knocking the chalk-box over on the floor and everyone going OWEEOWEEOOOOWEE:)

sdanseo · 25-06-2011 06:56PM

I was an argumentative little bastard.

Nowadays, I'm a somewhat bigger argumentative bastard. :P

Similar here. I remember seeing other kids playing up and it was so alien to me. I remember my dad taking myself and my siblings to meet some friends of his, probably work colleagues, and I remember the woman saying 'XXXX, your children are so well behaved'. None of us played up.

Kind of unusual I suppose

25-06-2011 07:54PM

Quite nerdy and always seemed a bit grown up for my age. Was considered a "gifted child" and had the vocabulary and spelling ability of someone 10 years older than me. Was not one bit shy initially but was still a loner nonetheless. I don't think I was a particularly bad child, I had the crap kicked out of me if I crossed the line.

Haven't changed a whole lot now, except I've toned down the vocab a bit and became terribly shy.

tan11ie · 25-06-2011 08:01PM

From what i remember angelic and shy.....pity i didn't stay that way!:D

25-06-2011 08:01PM

I was away with the fairies. A bit odd. Constantly drawing and painting pictures. And writing stories/plays. I was shy enough. Never really got on with other kids. Very mature compared to the rest of them in primary school, oh how things have changed! Also had this ridiculous posh London accent with a bit of a French accent thrown in...made me sound a lot smarter!

Red Hand · 25-06-2011 08:35PM

Quiet child, bit of a loner.
