Silly things you did as a kid

My mom has been an espresso aficionado for as long as I can remember. She has a collection of stove-top percolators to create a shot of any size, and, for those who don't know, the whole process turns the coffee you put inside into a wet, compressed cake of spent grounds. Well little toddler me came across one of these little cakes sitting on top of the trash and I thought it was an Oreo, so I picked it up and bit into it just in time for Mom to walk by and catch me in the act. She freaked out and rushed me to the sink to wash the grounds out of my mouth. I don't remember the actual experience of tasting it, but I imagine that it was unpleasant.

I also ate my Mom's toothpaste around the same time. Only hers. It was Sensodyne brand.

I had a Sugar Bear figure from a cereal box that I sat on top of a lightbulb that was turned on when I was 5. I was upset when I found the bear melted on the bulb not too long later.

When I was a kid, "The Land Before Time" was coming out to theaters and I was stoked. What could be better than dinosaurs and cartoons? My parents decided to take me to the theater. We planned a day trip to Flagstaff, went to the mall, had a nice meal, and we finally went to the theater. As the lights dimmed, I apparently started screaming, "mom! Mom! Do you know what Daniel did at school today? He stuck PRETZEL STICKS UP HIS NOSE! And when he pulled them out, there were boogers all over them! AND THEN HE ATE THEM!"

It's a miracle my mother didn't pull me out the theater right then and there.
 
Whenever we watched a movie, my brother and I would ALWAYS pause it when a character made a funny face. My dad told us not to because he said this would damage the VCR.
 
When I was very young, I unintentionally did one of the best pranks of my life. There are those instant soups in form of cubes that you have to throw into boiling water, and they turn to noodles - I hope you know what I'm talking about. So I thought the most logical thing to do would be to throw one of those into an electric kettle. So my mom then picked up that kettle to make tea, she poured that water in and noticed some little wormy things twitching around after squirting a lemon - so everyone panicked thinking that the lemons are infested with tapeworms of some kind - my mom even wanted to carefully pack it all up to take it to the health department for examination. Luckily (or not, it would have been funnier if she would take it), I told everyone about throwing the instant soup into the kettle after some interrogation after suspicions.

Why wouldn't you just pour the water over the noodle? Surely it's easier then sticking that block in a kettle.

When I was ten we went out to a restaurant and I was frustrated like hell because not only did I still have to order off the kids menu I couldn't even order for myself, my folks would always interrupt and order for me. And that particular night the rest of my family was completely excluding me from the conversation which just made me angrier.

So I stuck one of the shitty crayons the waiter gave me into a candle to watch it melt. And nobody noticed.

I still do that sometimes :oops:. I took a very large roll of cling wrap (on a cylindrical roll) and put my arm in it, up to my elbow. Then I did a really bad MegaMan.EXE impression and yelled "Mega Buster!", made laser sounds and pretended to shoot someone.
 
I made my own pretend 007 weapons out of toilet paper tubes and duct tape. I managed to make a pretty good silenced PP7, a rocket launcher, and an RCP-90.

(Yes, I'm using the in-game weapon names from Goldeneye here, because that's what they were to me at the time.)

I was 15 and I have no shame.

My mother would lie about my age to get like, two dollars off a meal. That always made me feel so gross.

You think you're a god. Null runs the whole forums, he thinks he's a greater god. Well, guys, I am Zeus. I am omnipotent, I must be obeyed, or my thunderbolts will strike.
 
MORE VACATION STUFF OH BOY

We always went to Wildwood Crest. One day my cousin and I found this little crab and decided to keep it in a pail filled with sand, naming it Elizabeth. When it came time to go back to the hotel, we started crying, knowing we couldn't bring the crab with us. So we said our laughably dramatic goodbyes before letting it go back into the sand.
 
One time, I poured a glass full of cream, thinking it was milk. Even when I realized it wasn't milk, I continued to drink it until the glass was half-empty.

No wait, that was yesterday. God, I'm a fucking idiot.

I also, similarly, once tried mixing coca-cola with milk. I was twenty at the time.




If anyone cares, it sucked.
