Tales from Childhood

[Shiny Bunny Captain Socha]

I love to hear stories of funny things I did as a child.

Like the time I climbed up on the bathroom sink, at around 5 or 6 years old, and put some of my mom's clear nail polish on my eyelashes like mascara.

Or another time, I got a big butcher knife out of a drawer and proceeded to stab a big block of cheese to death in an attempt to get a piece for my own personal devourment.


What are some of the things you guys did as kids?

Well, there was the time i fell off a rope swing and fell ~30 feet onto a bed of twigs and broken glass. There was the time I broke open a one gallon bottle of ketchup on the hardwood floor of our dining room. And the time I chased the dog around the house with a butcher knife for no apparent reason.

hmm, every time i look back at my childhood, its a miracle that i ever survived.

Maybe you guys find this funny.

In the cafeteria, there was some kind of liquid or something on the floor. I had just gotten my tray of soup and was walking to he table, when I slipped on said liquid. I fell on my back and, if that wasn't enough, the soup was hot. Well, the bowl flipped over in mid air when I fell, and it all came down in my face. That's where I got some of those scars you'll see in the picture I posted in the approriate thread.

I also one time played "follow the leader" with my dog as leader. When my dog ate dog food, so did I.

And, some other personal stupid stuff I don't like to share.

Hmm lets see. There was that one time when I was lighting a fire and it cought the little plastic gas can I was using on fire. So I calmy walked over to a mud puddle, it was raining, and set it in it. But the can just started to melt and the fire wouldn't go out. So I went and got some rocks to stack around it just in case. Then I decided to smother it with a rock. Well I got this big heavy rock over to the can but it slipped out of my hands. As the rock fell in slow motion it occured to my that the fire was going to go every where. So i started to step back and turn just as the rock hit. By the way I was wearing boots and shorts, dont ask. The gas, while still on fire, flew every where hitting my left shin. I just sort of looked down lifted my leg up and patted the fire out. (My brain wasn't functioning well at that point) I then finished smothering the fire while walking around with second and thrid degree burns on my leg and skin just hanging off. I went inside and told my mom I burned myself a little. She was on her way to the store and said she whould llok at it when she got back, she is a nurse. Well one hour later she comes back than yells at me and takes me to the emergency room. The next day I took second place in the adult green belt sparring section of a international Karate tournament. Oh wait that was my senior year in high school, which was last year. (For those of you who are wondering yes I am accident prone.)

Well there was this one time I was playing in my room(I'm about 2) and I hear this tapping by my window. I thoght it was the wolf-man. I run out to the living room."MommyMommyMommy da woofmans gona eat me!!" "Ok I'll go see what it is." She goes into the room and I wait there. "It's ok it's just a branch. I'm gonna use the bathroom." Feeling assured but still nervous I sneak into my room and start playing with blocks. *taptaptap* It came from my closet. Like an idiot in a horror movie I get closer. *shnugkashnugkashnugka* The whole door shook. I Sart to turn and the door bursts open. It's the Wolf-Man!! I hit him in the face and ran down the hall and hide under the sink. I found out later it was my mom in a gorilla mask.

Apparently I also spilled a cup of coffee all over my chest one and caused severe 1st degree burns to most of my body. I had to be rushed to the ER and got taken care of right away. I don't actually remember this I've heard it alot tho. Apparently if I had been even a month older I would have been physically scarred for life.

Another time at one of those pony ride things my horse got stung by a bee and bucked me off and my grandpa caught me. If he hadn't I would have died.

doesn't get much better than thinking how you may have died.

[shiney]

severe 1st degree burns? that's just a really bad sunburn, technically :o

Hmm, me. Once I started a food fight with my sister, which had us throwing macaroni around, and then we smeared grape jello all over the walls. When my mother banished us to our rooms I snuck out of mine and went into hers, where we proceeded to enjoy the hell out of ourselves at the top of our lungs while disassembling anything that could be disassembled. Beds, dressers, closets...

Oh, it was a good day.

There was one time when I was about 3, I was down in the basement with at my grandparents house. I was pounding some nails with a little hammer while my grandfather was actually doing work. I mistakenly smashed my finger with the hammer, so I ran up crying to my Grandmother and got her to kiss it better... Then I went back down to my Grandfather, and got him to kiss the hammer.

[Vicious]

Speaking of burns, I had severe second degree burns on my legs from canoing for about 16 hours without sunblock.. Couldn't walk, after.

Stupid things? Hmm.. I was around 7 or 8.. I think I had just finished watching some Kung-Fu movie, or something.. Anyway, I was home with my sister, who was watching and me.. But she was asleep at the time. So, I get a broom out of the closet, and start kung-fuing in our living room. I spin it around.. but our roof is pretty low, so I thwack it into the big decorative glass light thing.. And it rains glass on me.. I thought I was alright, until I realized I couldn't see out of one of my eyes from all the blood streaming from my head.. Anyway, I woke up my sister, she freaked, and I got stitched up. Scar has long since faded.. And all of the light things have been replaced by plastic substitutes...

Another time, I was cruising my bike down a hill in the road.. My mom was with me, because I had just learned to ride without training wheels! Anyway, she yelled something.. I think it was "Watch out for cars!" or something. Anyway, I turn around to look at her, because I didn't really hear what she said.. and fell over on the bike.. Going downhill at about 20 mph.. I skinned my legs, my arms, my face, and bit a hole in my lip.. Egh. Mom let me stay out from school the next day, though. I played Zelda all day...

[Jack of Spades]

hmmm...it seems I used the wrong term for burns...it would have scarred if I was 1mo olde it must've been worse than 1st. 2nd degree from lack of sunblock? Ouch. I also ra downhill trying catch a rubberball, I fell and my arm got stuck in that gutter thing balls always fall in.

[Bizzaro_Exdeath]

Once I played "Mummy" with my brother and sister. I couldn't see where I was going, and I fell and broke my head open. It wasn't funny at the time. And I still have a scar on my head. Stitches wasn't good enough, I had to get STAPLES.

Once I rocked back on a chair, and it folded on me.
