General Discussion

Hello, everyone! I decided to post this topic because I like hearing about little kids and their antics. Got funny stories from when you were little? Post them below! I'll tell the first story:

I went through a phase when I was probably four to six years old where I was obsessed with the lengths of my fingers. Having suddenly realized that my middle finger was longer than my pointer finger, I thought, "Well, wouldn't it make more sense to point at things with my longest finger?" So I started doing just that. My parents put a stop to it pretty quickly by telling me that it was rude to point with your middle finger. I had no idea why at the time, so I thought there was an arbitrary rule against pointing with fingers other than your pointer finger. Guess what I started doing?

When no one was looking, I'd just randomly point at things with any finger that wasn't my pointer finger XD.

I gamed my kindergarten teacher.

I hated using scissors for assignments in kindergarten, so when a girl got the scissors taken away because she cut her hair with them, my five year old brain hatched a devious plan.

Next day, I held the scissors up and yelled "TEACHER I'M GONNA CUT MY HAIR" and my scissors got taken away. All went to plan.

Mum picks me up at the end of the day and the teacher tells her that I threatened to cut my hair. Mum says, "But did she actually do it?" Teacher says, "Well no..." Mum breaks the truth that she just got gamed by a five year old.


Another story:

In third grade, I ice-skated on soap.

Another kid and I had been washing our hands when we splashed some water and soap on the floor by accident. We then took the opportunity of the newly slicked floor and skated on it like it was an ice rink.

I splashed more water on the floor and emptied the entire soap dispenser to continue my skating for a good twenty minutes before the teacher finally showed up, wherever she was the entire time, and wrote me up for "unsafe behavior".

My mum just laughed and wasn't even mad at me, but I did have to use my own allowance to buy a new thing of soap for the classroom.

When i was like in kindergarten or so I remember eating a whole styrofoam cup (it was small but still); pretty sure I did it bc I liked chewing on the styrofoam lol
I have no idea how I didn't get sick

When I was really little, like 3, my dad worked for a contracting company so he was always going on business trips to work on whatever project he'd been assigned to. One of them was in Miami, Floridia. I was saying goodbye to him one weekend before he left for the airport, and apparently I had just learned about possessive pronouns in preschool (only enough to know that "my" became "your") because I told him to "Have fun in Your-ami!"

I have a distinct memory of this conversation and even if I didn't my parents wouldn't let me forget because it's one of their favorite stories from when I was a kid.

doing everything I was scared of until i stopped being scared of them
still scared of forests to this day

@Charias I did the same except it was a baby tooth and I was freaking out and didnt wanna tell my parents but as soon as I did, I let out a big sneeze and it came out. My mom made fun of me for so long XD

Another story I had was.. well, I dont remember what I DID, but I did something wrong so mom locked me in my room. The door had one of those plastic door cuffs that you have to twist or unlock to remove. But I just squeezed it and screamed until it fell apart, and I threw open the door. Mom was standing outside and just cackled hysterically XD

Idk how old I was but I used to enjoy biting the edge of our dinnertable, it was just on such perfect mouth-height.

When I lost my first tooth I thought it was just a piece of apple and attempted to eat it.
You can guess how well that went.

When I was a baby, I used to lick people’s faces like a dog when they asked me to kiss them on the cheek.
