I'm not sure why I stopped walking off things...I never really hurt myself or anything. . .maybe I could actually fly!

Rána Eressëa · 04-22-2002, 01:09 AM

I believed I had multiple personalities when I was nine. I became New Anchor Christina when I braided my hair, Agent Sarah when I put on my glasses, Reporter Stephanie when my hair was down naturally, Assassin P.J. when I put my hair up in a single ponytail, and School Teacher Ms. Banister when I wore the blue outfit. I think that was about it . . .

I used to climb trees in the wooded area behind the old house wearing only my underwear when I was 5 and howl like Tarzan. (Re-runs of the black&white Johnny Weismuller versions were popular then)

My dad also bought a new wallet so I can use his old one as my "Starship Enterprise Communicator" when I was young.

Rána Eressëa · 04-22-2002, 01:17 AM

I used one of those Electronic "Dear Diary" things as my Secret Agent Database and portable phone.

Arathorn · 04-22-2002, 01:25 AM

My parents also say that they knew I was going to be a techie when they bought me my first mini-bike (I was 2 or 3 yrs old) and all I ever wanted to do with it then was to turn it upside-down and marvel at how the wheel and chains spin when I turn the pedals with my hands.

Cirdan · 04-22-2002, 09:42 AM

When I was two I skipped off to the beach and down to a playgroud I liked. They searched for me for hours. They should have realized what they were in for at that point.

I turned my tricycle upside down, and turned the pedals with my hands, too. I prentended it was an ice-cream maker.

Jadera · 04-22-2002, 04:37 PM

I did that with my bike too. Then I gave it to my Nana to ride and she crashed into my dad's van.

At one point I thought I was Pollyanna. I tried to climb out of my crib/playpen thing and was on the edge when I fell and hit the floor. I wasn't paralyzed, thankfully, but it did hurt! Took the role playing a little too far....owies.

elf_princess · 04-22-2002, 04:53 PM

My sister and I used to always put our sleeping bags on over our heads backwards (so our heads were where your feet go). We would then crawl around and pretend we were worms. It was a lot of fun! Mom banned this game after a while though when I fell down the stairs and cracked my head off the floor. We always played when she left though...

BeardofPants · 04-22-2002, 05:26 PM

When I was little, I had an argument with my parents that really pissed me off... So, I decided to run away. I had only one small suitcase, and it was used for my lego blocks, so I packed that (with all my lego... of course!), a towel, and left for the wild blue yonder. Of course, since I wasn't allowed to cross the street....

olsonm · 04-22-2002, 05:38 PM

When I was little I bit into a tomato thinking it was an apple. I've hated tomatos ever since.

Michelle The Fair · 04-22-2002, 07:08 PM

When I was little,After seeing Snow White , I would not eat red apples. I thought i would fall asleep and not wake up. Never figured in the "true love's first kiss" thing. stil don't eat red apples.

maye that is why i am still single.

galadriel88 · 04-22-2002, 07:35 PM

I tried to run away once too, BoP. I had the whole thing planned out and everything - I was going to go to the hotel really near my house and ask if they would let me stay in a room without paying. Of course, silly me didn't know you weren't supposed to tell your parents about it so I told my mom when she tucked me in that night.

She told me that there were bad people who liked to do bad things to little girls at night. I got scared and decided to abandon my plan...

Jadera · 04-22-2002, 10:18 PM

Yup yup, I ran away too. (I think all kids do at one point or another. I think it's genetic.) They found me two hours later under the kitchen table, with all my stuffed animals. Had to have company, you know.

THAT'S what Idid. I had this little trike and I would put it upside down put some dirt and salt in it and I had ICE CREAM! Of course my Mom was always there to makes sure I didn't taste it.
I used to think I was Wendy off of Peter Pan and I almost did a belly flop off of the couch. And then when I used to go to this Christian day care I would find this teen guy who would play Peter Pan with us little ones. I was Wendy. I also had this little goblin I called Rover who I got when I had a nightmare induced by "Legend". I found him in my pantry.
I used to look up to the clouds and pretend I saw Jesus looking down at me from the clouds because that's where I thought Heaven was. I would talk to him and stuff. Still do.
And strangers were ABSOLUTLY TABOO with my friend and I. I mean we would TALK point to people we didn't know and remind each other that THAT was a stranger. And the harpists in the first Fantasia were going to take care of the snakes.

I didn't eat pickles till I was seven or eight because my big brother convinced me it was healthy to drink a WHOLE bottle of pickle juice. UUUGGGGGHHH. :P

Cirdan · 04-22-2002, 11:34 PM

My brother convinced me that peppercorns were chocolate.... THE HUMANITY!!!!

I remember a "friend" family; the older brother combined the two by filling a hollowed bonbon with hot sauce and giving it to his little brother.

My brother did this to me! Well not exactly... he convinced me that our puppy's treats were also made for humans to eat. So I ate one of those Beggin' Strips. NASTY! yuck yuck... don't ever try it... no matter how convincing your brother may be!

Elfmaster XK · 04-23-2002, 09:16 AM

I once thought that a bar of soap was a bar of fudga and tried to eat that! Eugh! Bubbly...my mum and dad never had to 'wash my mouth out with soap and water' as i did it for them!!!

I also used to eat paper...*used to? Yes, Don't tell them the secret!! *

I USED ti eat paper!

I also ran away, to the pet shop in the village. When i got hungry my friends in the chippy next door gave me free chips...and phoned my parents...

...my plan was going so well too.
