stupidly innocent things you did as a kid

When I was 7 I visited crag caves, and reached over a railing when nobody was looking and touched a staligmite. A lot of clay came off onto my hand. Later in my teens I found out this would have taken decades to form just this amount and Iv been feeling guilty about it ever since:(

Jaysus you're mad! :pac:

Went to mass.

mikemac · 07-08-2011 11:48PM

Decades?

Centuries to form would be more correct

I kept trying to carry myself by grabbing the back of my legs and lifting. Took me waaaaay too long to figure out why I kept hitting the ground (damn you gravity!) and I also suspect that this is where my intermittent back pain has it's roots.

When i was 4 i took chewing gum that i had found stuck to the road and peeled it off and started chewing it. My parents freaked out when they saw me.

Two weeks before my brother's first holy communion I gave him a hair cut, a very bad one

He had been using my dad's hairbrush and I told him that his hair would go grey (I actually said white) like our dad. My brother started crying so to stop him crying I told him that I could cut his hair before it got a chance to go grey

My mother was not impressed, there are no framed photos of my brother's communion

At a hotel in Majorca (I think, possibly Malta) when I was five.

"Mommy, look! They left chocolate on the bed. Ooh! White chocolate!"
"Tom, no! .. Oh God"

Yeah, it wasn't white chocolate, amazingly. I had suds coming out my mouth for hours

My dad got sand delivered to do some building work in February when I was around 5, out I run in my swimsuit thinking it's summer and the beach has somehow come to us?!

I used to think I could jump further than I could (misplaced hoptimism :pac:) .

Many walks home soaked.

I was a blonde child and my best friend at the time was brunnete. In order for us to be "twins" I drank a whole bottle of calpol thinking my hair would change the colour as the child on the bottle:) I then learned it came from a different kind of bottle and eventually got what i wanted:)

I thought the suds were from his mother washing his mouth out afterwards.

Once when I was on holidays in Portugal. I stayed in the hotel room while mum and dad went for a bite to eat. They told me they'd be right back, I haven't seen them in years......

When I was 4 I found what I thought was a sausage in a pile of sand and went to show my babysitter. She started screaming at me to put the cat poo down

When I was in 2nd class (about 7 years old?), a pair of twins had started school (4 years old) and they had no sense as of yet.

What used to happen was that a lot of the older boys and girls would get penny sweets and scatter them on the concrete play area and watch the twins who would run around excitedly, scooping up the sweets and eating them.

It was like feeding the pigeons on Trafalgar square.

It was Portugal.

At least get it right.

When I had the tight elastic at the end of my tracksuits I always used to spend ages playing with the marks left by them, had great fun with it so I did :L

I used to be given a vitamin C tablet daily, and the cover of the bottle depicted some wholesome children playing on a swing. Thinking that taking loads of these would increase my youthfulness and energy, I managed to guzzle the whole bottle of pills when my mother was in the garden.

My concerned mother quickly contacted some crowd like the National Poison Helpline for advice and was told not to worry, as the human body eventually just ejects the surplus vitamin C.

I have no recollection of this, but apparently I managed to coat the entire bathroom in the runniest layer of sh!te.

Yes. Yes I was.

In the weeks running up to Christmas my mam used to store bottles of whiskey, brandy, chocolates and boxes of sweets at the bottom of her wardrobe.

My brother and I found a large box of Lemon's sweets (the ones with the picture of Santa on the box) and we opened the box from underneath. Every night we would steal a few sweets from the box but the box looked perfectly intact. When we had eaten more than half the contents of the box we decided we needed to do something to make up for the lost weight, so we gathered pea gravel from the garden and started wrapping up the stones and putting them into the box.

My mother gave away that box of sweets stones as a present, I often wondered who received it :pac: :pac: :pac:

When I was 3 I put a load of pebbles up my nose that had to be surgically removed.

Agreed to become an altar boy.

My mother used to make buns which had icing sugar and jam on top. Me and my brother used to lick the tops and then put fresh jam back on them so our mother wouldn't notice. Tasty!!!

I did this too. Wasn't pebbles, it was one those light bright things. you'd put a black sheet of paper over the light part and stick these bright coloured pegs into it and make them light. I must have thought the same thing would happen to me by sticking it up my nose but all i remember is the pain i was in when the doc put some contraption up my tiny nose to get it out. Wasnt bright!

I used to put sand in my hair just to pick it out! Very satisfying.
