Post a random fact about your childhood.

In grade 3 I loved the after-school daycare and became obsessed with daycares for school-aged kids.

As a child I used to play with only 3 children - my cousin 3 years older than me and our neighbors' children - the boy was my peer while his sister was 3 years younger.

In grade 1 our lunchroom was on the stage, with the curtain separating it from the gym shut. There were tables and chairs on the stage. That was also where the school's breakfast club was, and later on the detention room.

I was the last kid in my neighborhood who learned how to ride a bike. Then my bike was stolen about a year or so after learning how to use it.

I took stray or hurt and sick animals at home.
It was very difficult stay in kindergarten because I cried.
I took encyclopedia about animals from the library and drew all animals from it.

The first birthday I celebrated was my 18th.

My sister and I saved up to buy a crocodile head, only to sell it shortly after.

I used to play with Hot Wheels cars and other toy cars. I also had a car I would ride in. I could also ride on my hobby horse forever. I was pretty athletic when I was little, but I am not at all that way now.

I grew up on a campground my family owned until I was 8. Best time of my life was summer when I ran free all day, swam in the lake and pool and my cousin was my best friend and the only friend I needed. I developed a deep love of the outdoors.

I used to be obsessed with Pokemon.

My uncle was extremely high on some really bad drugs when he and his girlfriend started argiung. She came to my house where she was to tell him she wanted to break up with him. He got extremely pissed off and flipped his lid. He grabbed a very sharp knife and blocked the door, threatening to cut her throat if she leaved without taking him back and changing her mind. But she wouldn't retract it so he got increasingly more angry until he managed to stab himself in the chest with the knife. After about 3 hours of this he started to come down from the drugs and removed the knife wobbling on his chest. The girlfriend left and I was just so damn tired from all the crap I just went to bed and woke up the next day ready put that night behind me.

In 5th grade, our class did some really fun puzzles and random knowledge group projects. I was awesome at them. I remember one question was "What is the most common brand of industrial vehicle?". I used to entertain myself on car rides by reading everything, so of course I knew "MACK" trucks, because they were so huge and I was actually kind of frightened of them. I kept wondering why I was the only person in the class who noticed things like this (I wasn't diagnosed until a few months ago, and I'm 21 now).

When my mother would put a bunch of Flinstones vitamins in her hand and tell me to take one I'd sneak two because I loved the taste of them.
