What was one of the weirdest things you did as a kid?

I was expected to behave as an adult.

You should talk to my mother -if you'd like to see a glorious face palm.

However one thing I did a few times that was not so bad was catch our young bull by the ring in his nose then using a piece of wire connect him by the nose ring to the electric fence. Must been one of the reasons he turned out to be so ornery.

When I was about 4 or 5 years old, I took an English grammar class and I was extremely competitive . . . hey, wait a minute!

I cried. Often.

I've always been odd,

but not quite Adams family.

Can't think of anything really wierd -

well, not in the context of what was happening.

I had lots of long words when I was 5, which I thought then was just normal.

I adapted to survive and that made me seem to others abnormally "grown up."

It was actually a side effect of things not right at home.

I wish that was wierd.

But I think unfortunately it's a normal thing for many children,

much more than their parents realise.

When I cried, I did it in secret.

Now I begin to understand you.

Thanks. That is a wonderful discovery.

Will you treat us to some of your special nuances in grammar?

For instance, how a shift of commas

can radically change the meaning of the same words in the same sequence...

disgusting

I kept seeing dumb people

I collected ants from ant nests.. Picked them up with my pointer finger and my thumb.. Never crushed them doing this.. Then i put them into a jar and kept them as pets for a few hours and then when i got bored, let them go..   We used to have the normal little black ants.. larger green Ants. and red Ants and the big bull ants.. I never really feared them.. I guess i was too young to be afraid..

Hey.....  :( 

Stop dissing my family ..  :D  lol

Hello gc:

Here I am learning a valuable lesson.

excon

I had a lot of quirks and phobias.  I remember being scared of everything.  I outgrew most of the phobias, but I can't swear that I am not still a little quirky.  

Which day?

LOL!

So did I. I cried almost every day. Even during adolescence. It's not common, and yes parents were also children once so they know some things.
