Stupid/Funny Things You Did As A Kid

[Zomby Woof]

When I was 12... a friend and I went to Safeway, bought a can of Betty Crocker chocolate frosting in a can, some plastic spoons, and pigged out. We really LOVED frosting, and what better way to achieve instant frosting gratification than frosting-in-a-can? :bounce:

Sat right there in front of the store.

Ah, the summer of '79...

1. I used to eat mustard-and-ice-cube sandwiches.

Seriously. That was m favorite food when I was 7 years old.

Also me and ChavezspeakstheTruth used to film music videos for our fake band when we were about 13-14 that involved transvesticism and us throwing stuff at cars passing my house.

[Zomby Woof]

6. Regular mustard? Dijon?

Something about being 13 or 14, your music video story reminds me of. We used to mix up every spice we could find in the pantry with some water, and dare each other to drink it. It was putrid and disgusting, but it made us laugh every time.

[RandomKoolzip]

10. Regular yellow mustard. We were poor. Bread and mustard

were, like, all we had in the house.

I also used to light my balls on fire on stage to impress chicks, but I wasn't young when I did that.

25. Peanut butter and mayonaise

sandwiches with pickles on special occasions. I think I did it to drive my mother nuts.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

33. Alas its true

2. Embarrassed to say, but.....

My older sister and I would go to a neighbors' farm and lick the cow
salt...........so, if anything seems to be amiss with me now I have a good excuse!!
(Of course, I have to admit to being around the age of 4 at that time!!)

Yup - the good ole days!!


Bleccchhhh!

3. At least you stayed away from the cow pies!

At least, I HOPE you did!

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

7. I wrote short plays and directed my little playmates in them

Also wrote poetry for cats. To wit:

"I know a little kitty
She has cute and shining eyes
Her little paws are pretty
When she sees us, she cries.

Miss Kitty's claws are very tough
Her ears go up and down
Her tongue is very rough
On her head is a crown."


:shrug:

[Placebo]

4. I bought frosting with my friend too!

Except we were in high school, and when they opened a new White Hen only a couple blocks away, we walked there for lunch and bought a BIG 'ol thing of frosting and pigged out!

If you can picture us both, walking back to school in the BLISTERING COLD wind, here in the city, both digging our spoons into the can of chocolate frosting.

Mmm....

5. We always had Alka-Seltzer in the house,

and when I was little, I loved to dump the whole bottle in the toilet to see it fizz!

[Zomby Woof]

8. What a relief that is!

We had a strobe light and would watch our stream of piss with it, which I HIGHLY recommend trying.

[Champ]

9. In 6th Grade

I casually walked into a female's restroom without realizing it. I walked around and found it odd they had no standing stalls. So I did my business and washed my hands, then 2 girls walked in and laughed, it didn't even click to me til I was out of the restroom it was an female one.

11. Make torches with sticks, rags and kerosene and go through underground

watter drainage/sewer tunnels.

I also ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with dill pickles.

[BlueJazz]

12. My Father had a our family doctor (and his Wife&Son) over ......

...for dinner. They parked there car in our 3 car garage.
While they were having before-dinner drinks I remember the Doc saying that they had better get fuel on the way home.
The son and I (I think we were 3 or 4 yrs. old)went out in the garage to play....I told the Son that we should give his father some "Fuel"....so we filled up their car...with the garden hose!
When we went inside for dinner and mentioned that we had solved the fuel problem I remember now thinking "why is daddy turning Green" :)

[mykpart]

13. When I was in high school, my friends and I

would make up dirty song parodies. Example: A song called "Meet Me At Midnight, Mary" (circa 1964) became:

Eat me at midnight Mary.

[Revillusion1]

14. Remember those huge plastic tubes of pixie stix candy?

When I was about 5 or 6 my grandma had let me get one at the little store on the corner by her house. A boy who lived next door, a little older than I, kept trying to take it away from me, and as a result of our tug of war, across the driveway flew all of the tube's contents.

Pissed, I went into my grandma's kitchen, filled the empty plastic tube with Hershey's Cocoa (the old fashioned kind you bake with-pretty nasty stuff-wouldn't advise eating it straight outta the can)and took it to Kevin, the neighbor boy, as a 'peace offering'.

About 10 minutes later, his Mom was banging on my grandma's door wanting to know what I had given her son and was I trying to kill him. (He was still hacking little puffs of brown powder.)

I thought it was funny, but my Grandma wasn't amused.

17. LOL

I like your devious mind. :-)

[yvr girl]

15. I was quite precocious

I played blackjack with my stuffed animals

I decided to help my mom out and wash the basement floor. I used almost an entire bottle of dish detergent. I bet that floor is still soapy in places.

I sent a Shirley Temple back in a restaurant

My friend got a gift certificate for a meal at A&W for her birthday. She wanted to split it with me. We rode miles on our bikes to get there. (These were bikes that had had training wheels on them not too long before - we were 7) Once we got there, we got our meal and sat on the back steps and shared it. The people who worked there brought us out our own sundaes.

[progmom]

16. My best friend Gloria and I would do that too.

We were in jr high, and I think the supermarket checkout lady thought we were high. We'd stay up all night talking about boys we had crushes on, then walk down to the Super Duper in the morning for our lovely nutritious b'fast of frosting and Diet Coke.

[Fiona]

18. This one time

at band camp.... I stuck a flute up my pussy. My best friend was with me - she was a sousaphone player. God, I miss her. But it was a lovely funeral.

[jpgray]

19. Well what do you know, Patricia is a DUer

You were such a fucking skank.

:D

[PartyPooper]

20. When a lot younger, I used to believe EX-LAX was a candy.

:hurts:

[brentspeak]

21. I had this thing with eating chopped meat

that was kept in the refrigerator. That is, until my mom told me about trichinosis.

Then I settled on sucking boullion cubes and eating raw flower for my weird foods.

[frogbison]

24. Well!

My son used to suck on/eat bouillion cubes, as well. He inherited his love of salt from me but I alwas thought he was the only one ... until you came along!
:o)

22. My tampon story

My friend and I went into my mother’s bathroom, and stole all of her tampons. We were about 6 or 7 years old, and so had no clue what they were. To us, they looked like little sticks of dynamite! We proceeded outside with them to play "Army." The string on a tampon was the fuse, so we pretended to light it, and then threw them at each other. This went on for a while. (It was a big box!) Up and down the street we played. Looking back now I have to laugh. The whole block was covered with tampons everywhere. My poor mother must have been humiliated.

[Kire]

27. I just laughed and laughed to that story.

thanks.

[u4ic]

23. We kept on calling the mother

of our favourite NHL hockey player and asked to speak to him. She was always nice and polite and said he was out. LOL We also used to crank call people, sounding like a little kid asking where their mom was. Now, I think that was particularly nasty.

There was also a neighbour that was despised by all, and us kids used to order about $30 worth of pizza (alot at the time) and have it delivered to his place. Or we'd order it, eat the pizza and throw garbage in the box, sneak up to his door, ring the bell and take off, so he was left with a porch full of garbage and pizza boxes.

This was late 1970's.

We weren't as awful as we sounded. :)

26. My mother told me not to get those burrs in my hair so-----

It only took , it seemed, a few hours for her to cut them out and I sure looked funny.

[Kablooie]

28. My brother poured a jar of liquid latex over our cat ,,,

and when he saw the latex start to harden, left the cat in a field so he wouldn't get caught.
By chance I discovered it and brought it home. We had to cut ALL the hair of poor WhiteCat but he survived and did fine once his fur grew back.

(my brother was about 6 and didn't realize the consequences)

[Must_B_Free]

29. my brother and his friend used to string things over the intersection

his friends house was on a residential intersection. They used to cast a fishing line over the telephone wire and hang something from the end of it. The when a car came by they would drop it down on the car. I recall a pair of dirty underwear, a big rubber fly and a brass frog that I was afraid might damage cars.

I remember we used to throw clods of dirt at cars. Or snowballs. One time we threw a snowball at a landcruiser and hit it loudly on the side. The guy thought he had hit something and slammed on his brakes and spun out, then chased us through the woods.

30. My sister and I

found two little box turtles and somehow decided they were a boy and a girl and that meant they could have babies. We looked in the World Book and it said turtles lay their eggs in sand. So we put the turtles in the basement. Then we filled a couple buckets with sand, took them down the basement and poured it all down the drain. We made a really nice nest for those turtles:)

I can still hear my dad's voice yelling from down in the basement when he discovered our turtle nest.

[Must_B_Free]

31. did they have babies?

[proud2BlibKansan]

32. No

they didn't nest long enough. My dad found them within a few hours.
