Silly Things we Did as Children

[Shawna]

Admit it! We are all guilty of doing a thing or two that caught our guardians off-guard. I will never forget the times I would go outside to make "chocolate cake" by mixing dirt and water together in a bowl. My parents were never trilled, of course, but they understand that I was just a curious 6, 7 year old little girl.
Sometimes, I would even sneak to the pantry and refrigerator to get actual seasonings and dairy products to mix with water, dirt, grass, etc. I remember putting this red seasoning in a bowl along with some water and butter. My mom found me, said it looked like throw up, and dumped it out.

I may seem like a horrifying person after sharing this, but keep in mind that I was relatively young and I was just very curious in a very funny way. As a girl who will turn 18 in four days, I know better not to do this, XD

I can relate to this. Me and my sister had so much fun making wierd concoctions in our backyard. One time, our nieghbor gave us some canned vegetables to give to our mom. We decided to make vegetable mud pies. They looked so gross. Mud with bits of corn and peas. Yummy.lol.

We would also ask our mom if we could take a bath. If she said "not right now", we would go outside and get really dirty. We lived in Oregon, so it was easy to find a muddy spot to roll in. Then we would go in the house, track mud all over the floor, and ask again if we could take a bath. My mother would just smile and get the bath ready.

We would also color with crayons on the clean kitchen floor. We would use the olive green and scribble all over and say it was green poop. My mom would just clean it again the next day. Bless her heart. She was so patient with us and rarely got angry.

When I was little, I used to enjoy taking toothpaste lids, filling it with water, and then pouring other things in it, like a droplet of shampoo or something. Seems like a lot of us did this. I wonder what the psychology is behind that.

this one time me and my brother tagged along with my parents to a mattress department. we went off on our own and gathered all the pillows we could find and dumped them all to a corner of the store and just jumped around in them. didnt take long for us to get sent back to our parents and had the workers clean up the 20+ pillows we dumped to the floor

Everytime I went to a restaurant and i'd finished eating first. My parents would talk on and on and on for hours if they could and I would sit there mixing the sauce on my plate with the other condiments and leftovers. I would pretend I was making like a 'potion' or something. It was so fun to watch the colour of the 'potion' change.

You know those napkins that are sometimes folded into like shapes or something at restaurants I would start doing some of my funky origami with it or sometimes if I had a pen in my pocket I would draw on it. And I had a habit of poking holes in the table cloth if there were tooth picks on the table.

i used to gather leaves and "borrow" my mom's tea cups to make "tea" with my friends.

I used to coat myself in mud, let it dry and crack then brush it off and pretend I was a butterfly coming out of a cocoon or something xD I did this so many times as a kid after it rained. I also tried eating grass on a few occasions because I saw my cats and dogs doing it and I thought "Why would they eat it if it didn't taste good?" before I knew that cats ate grass to help them vomit and remove hair from their digestive tract and that dogs eat poop and dead things, so they love things that taste awful.

My brothers and I also used to steal every pillow and blanket in the house along with all the couch cushions and build massive pillow forts

i took a bunch of cherries, smashed them and painted my face with it and pretended i was a vampire. my parents didn't like it, i think my aunt actually thought it was real blood and got really scared. then she yelled at me for inspiring her children to do the same ...

I went for an adventure on my tricycle once, just to like the end of the road and back (it wasn't really a long road, but the end of it wasn't in view of the house). When I got back my mum was like "where the f*** have you been!?" all upset and stuff and I was just like "chill b****, I be out on my trike! Cut the umbilical cord, woman!" (probably not in those words, since I was like 4).

It's worth noting that it was a 'different time' where you could actually leave your kids for 2 minutes on the front without fear of a pedophile magically appearing from nowhere and abducting them or being accused of being an awful parent.



I also used to use to use the washing line as a catapult to make my Power Rangers fly. The next door neighbor was pretty much around our house on a daily basis with a box of my toys to return to us.



And I used to put coco powder in pretty much everything. I wouldn't eat/drink any of it, my mum would just come downstairs in the morning to find I had yet again climbed the cupboards and put coco powder in everything.
She stopped buying coco powder...

puking on my dad

Ahhhh, I remember doing this...He was all like "Son, you're 21, f***ing sort yourself out".

when i was like 4, i dumped baby powder all over the apartment that i lived in at the time.

but in my defense, i was 4 and unsupervised. my parents were spilt up at the time, my mom was sleeping, and my grandmother was at work.

I remember being about 5 or 6, my mom had fallen asleep in the other room so I decided to turn the work surface in the kitchen into a swamp for my toy soldiers....water everywhere....got a telling off for that

I don't think I was present on Earth 20 years ago (I'm almost 26) I didn't do anything silly as a child. What Earth humans define as "silly" was quite normal where I came from so I don't know what the meaning of silly is all about. Can someone give me an idea?

Sir, I think you may suffer from severe dementia. You're not an alien mermaid, you're just a regular human Earth boy.

My sister and I got an old shampoo bottle and filled it with stuff from the garden as 'perfume'... Literally anything:/
Needless to say, it smelt awful
